Unfortunately gasoline will be “Atlas Shrugged” high when this becomes a smart purchase. I hope that never, ever happens.
As a current BMW owner (Mine is 10 years old) I found that the free market drove my purchase cost below that of an equal year Honda Civic. I average 30mpg.
We will need to be well into $20/gallon fuel prices for this to make sense. Not to mention all other forms of energy will increase at the same time (the owner of an EV WILL see $1000+ monthly increases in their utility bills)
The whole EV car thing won’t make anyone’s life any easier.
