[–] Wanderer@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago (1 child) Electric vehicles are expected to be cheaper than ICE cars. There has been a lot more money and time spend in developing ICE cars. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] n2burns@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Electric vehicles are expected to be cheaper than ICE cars. I completely agree, especially if people can get away from the BS "I need 350mi of range." Better charging will hopefully help with this. I just don't see the price coming down fast enough for a 350mi range EV to be sold for $15,000 vs inflation. At 2% inflation, $15K in 10 years is $12,305.22 today, in $15K in 5 years is $13,585.96 today. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Daveyborn@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Most people don't need that type of range anyways. Farther than either of my ice cars go on a tank (unless im doing only highway driving) and I fill a car once a month. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] n2burns@lemmy.ca 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) 100% agree! I'm wondering if I should have clarified in my original comment that $15K EVs might be possible without ridiculous subsidies, but they aren't going to have a 350mi range. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Daveyborn@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago To be fair and honest I could possibly touch 350 if I wasn't running E85 and being a very very good boy. But still a ridiculous goalpost. permalink fedilink source parent
