EVs that cost anywhere near $20k, have limited functionality compared to an ICE, and degrade so fast you can watch the Ahr fall by the month are the epitome of a niche market.DaveinOlyWA said:First off, we need to dispel the myth that larger pack sizes will be the death of smaller pack sizes. That is as far from reality as you can get. What we have now is the perception that EVs are exclusive and overpriced. That is not what manufacturers want despite their actions. Soon they will get that. Batteries will be cheaper, but they will never be cheap in a car.
The future will see EVs covering every segment of transportation need instead of the "I have the money so I will pay for more range" crowd that is, btw, a limited market. What needs to happen is EVs in every price segment which means econobox 100 mile EVs for under $20,000 along with your $50,000 Tesla.
"My" $50k Tesla has a host of bells and whistles. A very nicely equipped Model 3 is $35k. Please stop the Tesla trolling since I know you don't like similar BS that states that a LEAF costs $35k
