I’m not about to buy a $80,000 car where the $20,000 battery will go out in a few years. That is, if the car doesn’t spontaneously burst into flames first. If rich people want them as expensive toys, fine. Maybe in 25 years most of the bugs will be worked out and they will be affordable.
These battery fanatics never brag about the sticker price for their electric toy car, do they? Or how much the taxpayers are getting jobbed on every new EV sale. Or disclose how many ICE vehicles they also own....
