    Electricity price is a big problem with EV, but it is also a big problem with other means of transportation (trains, trams, …), heating, cooling, cooking etc.

    Electricity prices in Europe are currently crazy and have to be addressed.

    Also residual value is important, as it makes the brand more valuable.

      For most people, it’s still much cheaper. But, end game, if overall ownership costs end up being the same as an ICE vehicle… that’s a net positive for the entire planet.

    TBH, this whole idea that MSRP movements kill resale is absurd. If they hadn’t, instead the articles would be about the nosediving sales new sales and collapse of resale values.

    As it is, not only have new car sales remained competitive, but for many of us, who didn’t buy while prices were going up wildly beyond any reasonable value, the new prices are basically what we paid anyway.

    And lets be honest, these companies weren’t out there complaining when their competitors were pricing Model Y like it was a Porsche Macan.
