There’s only so many people who can afford to spend $60,000+ on a car
Maybe lower the prices to make it a everyman buy instead of a select few buy?
Nissan Sakura and Mitsubishi eK X EV are $14-16k, but are only for sale in Japan. Nissan closed orders for the Sakura because they already had more orders than capacity to make them. We need vehicles like that everywhere! That would drive EV adoption far, far more than another “affordable” $45k SUV.
Smaller electric vehicles to suit 99% of our needs. Bikes, trikes, small 4 seaters.
Sure, I’m eyeing a nice cargo bike for a year now. But that also is still tool expensive: I bought my second hand car 5 years for 6k€ and a cargo bike now is around 4k€
Yeah it is still expensive “for a bike” but you save on gas, insurance, maintenance, and health!
Yeah and sell at a loss
Learn to make them efficient so you don’t need a giant heavy expensive battery…
Oh yeah it’s that easy. You should be CEO. What a great idea
I can’t. Afford. Anything!
Make them cheaper.
The Chevy Bolt is 19k after the 7.5k federal credit.
The bolt is discontinued because it was taking sales away from more expensive vehicles. People don’t massive SUV’s but automakers can make more money on them so they limit options otherwise.
If only there was an alternative for travel, other than buying a giant four-wheeled multi-ton money pit death machine, that could also run on electric instead of fossil fuels.
If only.
We need to mandate EV adoption, not rely on consumer demand, the amount of misinformation directed at EVs has been extremely effective. They aren’t perfect, but they are a hell of alot bettet than Internal Combustion Engines which spew poison into the environment . . .
or yknow… just get rid of car dependency
We need to mandate PT adoption, not rely on carsumer congestion.
Why a pay walled link? Feels like this is an ad.
It’s very annoying when people do this. Here’s a link to the archived version: https://archive.ph/w1XBt
