Hopefully it’s a temporary blip from EV incentives going away. We needed those incentives to smooth out the transition while EVs are still expensive, but with them being cancelled anyone on the fence had to consider buying in september.
Now we’ll transition slower and more painfully. We’ll continue pushing climate change, to our own detriment. Legacy manufacturers are already pulling back from EVs to maximize short term profit at the cost of viability on the global market. More people will be stuck for decades with obsolete technology and higher operating cost. We always seem to like doing things the hard way
It’s been 15 years, when exactly will EVs be cheaper? And why isn’t it yet? I hear from the tankies that it’s cause america won’t let us buy cheap Chinese EVs. If that isn’t why I don’t get it. We went from blackberries to batteries that can run a computer faster than a desktop of the era for multiple days, but we can’t sort out EVs? The core enabling technology (the transistors) aren’t even that expensive. The obvious answer is capitalism but which part?
