    Electric vehicles are expected to be cheaper than ICE cars.

    There has been a lot more money and time spend in developing ICE cars.

      I completely agree, especially if people can get away from the BS “I need 350mi of range.” Better charging will hopefully help with this.

      I just don’t see the price coming down fast enough for a 350mi range EV to be sold for $15,000 vs inflation. At 2% inflation, $15K in 10 years is $12,305.22 today, in $15K in 5 years is $13,585.96 today.

        Most people don’t need that type of range anyways. Farther than either of my ice cars go on a tank (unless im doing only highway driving) and I fill a car once a month.
