I’ll be a new grad soon. Is it a good move to get one of these cars?
I can get around $10k tax credit if I buy a new EV/plug-in hybrid.

It takes just as long to Uber somewhere as it does to drive, but you don't have to worry about driving stress, road ragers, you don't have to find a parking spot, you don't have to pay for parking or run back to re-up the meter, you don't even have to remember where you parked, you don't have to worry about getting into an accident while pulling out of the road because folks aren't looking both ways, and you'll never worry about coming back to your car to find the windows smashed. Owning a car in a city sucks.
In most of the country you need to own a car. In the cities you really don't.
That said as soon as I moved back to Atlanta I bought a car again. So it depends a lot on which city IMO.
Nowadays it’s $30-$50 a trip to get between different parts of Seattle (e.g. cap hill to Ballard). This is on top of the fact that you’re completely locked out of hiking (best part of Washington) without a car.
Seattle is not like NYC or SF with state run transportation (that you pay way too much for), and Seattle is very big / spread out.
OP, look into used Toyota Corollas or cheaper hybrids that you can get the EV credit on. You must have a car here (or lots of friends who do) to have a good experience.
You will feel the difference.
