[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] European automakers slash EV prices while raising ICE models.
European automakers are reducing prices on EVs while raising prices on their ICE models, all in hopes of avoiding hefty fines as the European Union’s new emissions rules tighten at the beginning of 2025.
On January 1, the EU will drastically lower its cap on automotive CO2 emissions, meaning at least 20% of all sales from most car companies must be electric models to avoid heavy fines, Reuters reports. This year, 13% of all new cars sold in the region have been electric, according to the ACEA.[/quote]

This is an interesting way to go. Germany tax incentives ended in 2023 but will be available for 2025. Current survey show 97% of EV driver will buy another EV and only 1% will not. [/quote]

What I really love about EVs is the low maintenance cost. All the service maintenance, oil changes, and problems usually have to do with the combustion engine. We keep cars for 10+ years so the maintenance costs really grow.

A gas combustion car is still more expensive for us than a comparable EV when I factor in maintenance and gas.[/quote]

EVs are very disruptive to the status quo. They take 1/2 the man hours to produce(Unions fear them for this reason), require less replacement parts, do not require gas stations(these are closing), require much less repairs(less service stations demands and are easier to drive.[/quote]

Just hope they don't catch on fire:

Guess you do not realize a gallon of gasoline is equivalent to 22 sticks of dynamite. Better not catch on fire and explode. There are thousands of gasoline-related fires in vehicles annually, with a significant portion involving fuel tank or fuel line issues. These fires cause hundreds of deaths each year.
