EVs Electric Vehicles are coming

Of course the cost aint cheap

"Annually, presuming 12,000 miles driven, it would cost $1,030 to drive a gas car versus $1,554 for an EV."

I thought all this hoopla about renewables was about saving the planet. Nothing in the COP26 manifesto suggested one could save money at the same time.

I didnt say anything about saving money I said it will not come at a cheap price

the thing is the number miles being driven is falling fast, home deliveries, home working all cut it down. i bought a cheap honda city, had it two years and do 1500km a year,two or three times a year i fill it up. more and more i can order what i need on the internet at a lot less cost of going to buy it, and it gets delivered. time is money

I never suggested that you did say anything about saving money. I did.

The article summarizes thus: "Annually, presuming 12,000 miles driven, it would cost $1,030 to drive a gas car versus $1,554 for an EV."

In the above example, at the end of the year, the driver of the conventional, gas-burning car has $524 more dollars 'saved' than his EV- driving neighbor. Of course he could chose to spend it on something else but we should be able to agree that the push to renewables won't be cheap. I would go further and say it never will be.

In the end, people's budgets and lifestyle will determine how quickly the change will be embraced. Unless if course it's a filthy rich country like Norway where the government's incentives and subsidies have driven their EV market saturation to over 80%. The irony of this being the Norwegian government's largesse has been enabled by its skilfully managed oil and gas revenues.
