They’re too expensive. Lower the price and I’d buy one. Remember when we were promised a $40k F-150 lightning? Now they retail for like $70k minimum and dealers tack on an extra $25k for shits and giggles.
You're 100% right. When Hyundai announced a 5K rebate on the IONIQ6 to undercut a base Tesla, I priced one out given the rebate and an attractive 1.49% APR on 60 months. It was still $600 a month! I technically have the ability to afford that but it would stress my budget to a level that I'm not willing to do. I have a heavy commute and the ability to charge at home so it makes a ton of sense for me....but they are just too expensive right now.
Man I would love to buy an EV. The ones I want don't qualify for tax credits. Nevermind how high interest rates are.
They mentioned a bunch luxury EVs in that first part of the article, but I doubt those were big movers anyway. Especially the Hummer EV.
I'd be curious how stock of ice vehicles compare?
Utter lack of small economy EVs. And EVs are still cars. So fkn expensive to operate/own. Yeah....
True across all car lines, not just EV. Is the SUV infatuation finally over? Are ICE cars stacking up on the lot as well?
I've been pondering getting an EV, but the only new ones I can afford are small cars like the Fiat 500. I would prefer something more akin to a Golf.
Seeing how expensive it is to replace the battery, I don't know if I want to risk getting a second hand electric car. It would have to be a pretty recent one.
Hydrogen is the future. Electric is stupid and too expensive. like the price of teslas that subsidized the supercharger network, Hydrogen car prices need to include a sort of subsidy allocated for H2 production scaling, to accelerate the transition, and early adopters drive down the cost for next H2 car buyers, but at some point corps need to be taxed to drive further sales.
