More efficient manufacturing, falling battery costs and intense competition are lowering sticker prices for battery-powered models to within striking distance of gasoline cars.
It’s nice to see, but $40k is still a rich-man’s market. I’ve never paid more that $12k for a vehicle … How do EV’s rate for reliability so far?
brand new ev’s outside the united states cost $10k now (more with tariffs) and i’m wondering how much longevity matters at this price point; especially if that price point is lower for a used one.
i live in the united states and we have the a 100% tariff on new ev’s and even with that it’s still cheaper than any american ev; but i don’t want to pay $20k for something that has little supporting infrastructure (gladly for $10k) so i too will be keeping my 15 year old car longer.
Well you can vote for Republicans, who continue to pass bills that block renewables and promote a reliance on fossil fuels, or you can vote for Democrats who at least try to pass bills to support our chance at a future. Yeah there are some who have crossed the aisle, but these are the policies of the vast majority of each party.
the tariffs were enacted before the cars were available to anyone in the united states; they’ve only just now started shipping to other countries that don’t have such ornery tariffs.
americans will never get them unless they start building them in mexico and even then they will likely get similar tariffs; regardless of the political party in charge and nafta.

Wow $10k for brand new is really amazing… Yeah they’re definitely bending us over here in the US.
and we love it that way so much we’re going to vote in the same people who are doing it to us. lol

the president blocked your access to a brand new $10k ev and guess which party he belongs to. ;)
Show me the $10k EVs that were available in the US before that bill went through.
