Well it is. Because it wasn’t that expensive to begin with.
10 year EVs are still incredibly expensive. Especially considering you can’t really Dona second hand ev. If the battery is 40k to replace. Then nobody is going to waste time with a second hand.
Last year the cheapest EV was $48,000. Today you can get an EV for $38,000. Battery prices are falling by 30% per year, you’re going to see $26,000 EVs in just a year or two.
By 2035, ten year old EVs won’t be expensive. We’ve also got much better batteries today - it’s really only the Leaf that cooks them, 2012 Teslas are doing fine.
Haven’t you completely forgotten about inflation? Like 10% inflation over the last few years ?
Ok so not as bad as I thought. Since 21 you’ve lost 1300 in buying power.
EVs might be slightly off from current inflation metrics. However if by 2035 society hadn’t collapsed then 26k will still be significantly more than 26k us now.
I know they are getting cheaper. Of course they will. They were niche and it was a brand spanking new product.
50 years of research will bring the price down. But that doesn’t help the average buyer now.
Hopefully by 2035 if we are still kicking. I won’t be buying a car at all. Subscription service to ai driven drones. Bring it on. Sick off sitting on traffic. Wasting my life commuting
