sadly i think wealth will always come into it because to be economical, you need to be able to charge the vehicle on your own home. and that is the select few.
We need early adopters to develop the mainstream, and we need buyers of new cars to create second hand cars, but it isn't a position everyone can afford to take.
I wonder what the mean average purchasing price of a car is to the uk public - I will attempt to find out. Certainly most of the people I associate with would struggle to find 20k for a car and most would need finance which is definitely part of the money equation.
I'm not asking questions to make a point, I am attempting to be informed. Mostly, it seems people are completely for or completely against EVs, whereas I am sure the answer lies somewhere in the middle and is variable depending on each individual case.
its good to know your brother's Tesla would still fetch a reasonable amount of money - I find myself put off completely by Musk supporting Trump... so even a second hand car has a sort of association! but as you say, there are other smaller makes and models, things have changed a lot just since the beginning of this thread! I'm convinced I will get an EV, eventually, but i want to be informed about my choice. (fiat e500 much more likely than a tesla!) |
