The US will put fees on them so they cost more.
Lead the charge Volvo! Would love to get into that EX30, Ex90 or better yet, do a Tesla trade-in thing.
Would rather pump a gallon of oil and burn it for that single use then use reusable energy for the next few decade because windmills are killing the birds /s
They have to. Because they are cheap appliance that depreciate like bananas in the sun.
enjoy the unpredictable electricity prices driven up by AI
Now if only these cost savings could trickle down to the consumer. The most likely scenario is they’ll just make it for cheaper but charge the same price to consumers to not lower their perceived value.
Used ones already are.. they depreciate like hot milk.
The are cheaper in China
Vauxhall have a model that already is
Unsurprising Plot twist: He means they’ll jack up gas car prices, not lowering EVs…
or “We’ll force you to make our ROI work out and you Will like it.”
I don’t avoid EVs because of price. There have been affordable, good EVs for a while. I avoid EVs because they don’t work well in cold and because the nation hasn’t taken infrastructure and regulation serious at all meaning EVERYTHING is still just early adopter and prototyping bs.
Then in 15 years I just might get one
Great but will garages get cheaper too so I can afford one so I can charge it at home?
This headline is misleading. It should say „Gas cars will be more expensive than EVs in five years“ because none of these fucking things are getting cheaper.
Cost less to produce. Buy price same or higher than normal.
Jezus what a fucking clickbait title is this. Read the actual article. The only thing said of gas cars is that THE COMPANY will start making more profit on EV’s, bringing the margins closer to combustion cars. Nowhere at all is it said that EV’s will be cheaper. Nowhere, nor are they even close where I live (might differ per region ofc)
Auto manufacturers would never allow cheap vehicles to be sold.
They’re already much cheaper, we just can’t buy them because of our trade policy.
Doubtful. They have shareholders to please.
“For every country in the world except the United States” I’m sure.
The longer this US anti-electric politics goes on, getting US automakers off of gasoline is gonna be like asking Exxon to switch to wind.
You could get a new EV for $60k that will be worth $10k in 5 years, or you can get a 5 year old EV for $10k, pay another $10k for new batteries if needed, and still come out ahead.
I doubt that, Here in the US, they will try to capitalize, and keep them the same price, if not more….. I am not buying this
Good. Through greedy corporate America and old wealthy ghouls will find a way to cling to fossil fuels and by making EV more expensive somehow. Old people cloning to the past am sidelining progress. Same short, different….decade.
Not by decreasing the price it’s by increasing the price of gas cars….
That’s a low bar, gas car prices are nuts right now.
Especially if they stop making these big ones with 300 mile ranges. Average person only needs about 50 miles daily. Anything more and they can rent a better one rather than own it.
The purchase cost will be very low, but the monthly subscription will be killer.
Please give us an EV with the interior of a higher end car from the ‘90s
It’s a super niche thing, but I’m literally considering buying a vintage car just to avoid all the screens and bullshit
Great. I don’t buy that. They’ve been saying this is just 5 more years away for 20 years. And the insurance on my hellcat is cheaper than on an electric car. I’m also not going to drive a car if I’m penalized heavily on the ange for driving 80mph instead of 70mph. Or be penalized heavily for using my heater or my air conditioner.
I’ll buy an EV when there is an affordable, sporty, 600-650mile range car or SUV so I can still drive and accelerate the way I do now, use my air conditioner and still be able to go 400miles without a charge.
All those advertisements about vehicle range are misleading because they aren’t realistic driving habits. I just can’t stomach an EV right now.
Duh. A lot less parts
Many do already
Pretty bold to assume any of us will be here in 5 years…
All signs point to electric as the future. What is the obsession with oil? I’m sure it is helpful with textiles and plastics, but that doesn’t seem to be the driving factor of trying to horde the world’s oil supply. What’s the benefit if people switch to electric?
I wish there was another breakthrough in battery capacity and range.
It seems that EV’s have been stuck around the 300 mi range for a while now. When you factor in battery degradation the effective range is around 270 mi after a few years. If we could hit the 400 mile mark that would be fantastic.
