minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•edit-21 year agoMost people can’t afford to buy electric cars, so… Either they become cheaper with time (they should) or less people will be able to drive a car… I’m in the market now looking for cars and I was shocked by how expensive the electric ones are in comparison to hybrids or fuel driven ones.
minus-square@lepinkainenlinkEnglish36•1 year agoMost people can’t afford to buy new cars period. This doesn’t stop people buying 10 year old ICEs. You can still buy a 10 year old one in 2045. I’m pretty sure EV tech has improved enough by then to make cheap cars possible.
