[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will never buy another gas fueled vehicle. They will be obsolete in the coming decade.[/quote]

Typical DCUM comment - not everyone can afford a $40K car (minimum) as starting price for electric.  Get out of your bubble.[/quote]

They'll wind up getting significantly cheaper as battery tech improves (and as demand rises).

But for what it's worth, the average price of a new car in the U.S. is now $41,000: https://news.yahoo.com/average-new-car-price-hits-record-41000-130015214.html That makes a $40,000 electric car with a $7,500 tax credit (the current law) or a $12,500 tax credit (what the infrastructure bill is contemplating for EVs made in union factories in the U.S.) much cheaper. If you can afford a new car, you can likely afford a new electric car.

Obviously, there are a lot of people who can't afford new cars, period. And DCUM certainly is a bubble. But EVs aren't really the exclusively luxury good they get made out to be.[/quote]
