Mullighan said EVs were far more expensive than their petrol counterparts, with a Hyundai Kona Elite electric model priced at $54,500 compared with a regular Kona at $26,900.

“Many battery electric vehicles are cost prohibitive, so they are above a price threshold that the fleet would normally pay for other fleet vehicles, but of course as technology improves and volume efficiencies are achieved it is expected price parity will occur sometime in the future,” he said.

    Wonder where they got these prices for. It’s wild that a Nissan Leaf costs $50k when the Good Car Company sells it for $20-30k.

        Yeah, they’re used but the price difference between old and new is wild to me. For that price you could get a Camry.

          Nothing out of the ordinary though? 6 years old and 100,000km used car vs new? That’s just the typical used car pricing.
