A very obvious resistance we see here in New Zealand is within the dealerships, they are simply not holding the EV stock. our local Hyundai dealer has a total of one EV in their new car stock of about ten cars and are very quick to tell you that there is no demand. What they dont tell you that in New Zealand at lest there is little or no profit in New Car sales, all the profit comes from the service department and the second hand yard. The second hand EV market is still very young and service on an EV is typically around 10% that of an ICE in the first 100,000 Km so there is little or nothing in it for a dealership.

Moore’s Law specifically applies to electronics, particularly the semiconductor industry, where it predicts that the number of transistors on a chip will double approximately every two years, leading to exponential growth in computing power. While it directly pertains to advancements in semiconductor manufacturing, its broader idea of rapid technological progress has inspired comparisons in other fields. However, other industries follow different models of improvement, and Moore’s Law itself remains unique to electronics.

In China, all cars depreciate, and gas cars lose value even faster because new models always come with more features, and sometimes at a lower price.

Such a thoughtful comment backed by a truly in depth analysis of the market place. I am sure you regret the transition from horse and buggy to the automobile.

Just you wait to see what the big automakers will do when they get going. Tesla cars will be destroyed?

[@bjm23vancity92]

Huh...what does that mean? Which automakers and what are they going to do ?

Legacy auto is going to have to partner with Chinese companies and just rebadge at this point. Legacy cars are way too expensive and they won’t produce cheap EVs. New ICE cars are so expensive, it was cheaper to get a 2021 Lexus ES 350 very low miles than a new Civic! And any equivalent EV was $15,000 more. Nothing will change in America until EVs are $25,000 and under. The idea that $35,000 is a good deal is a joke. Most people cannot afford the payments.

The masters have deemed it not in their interest. A bit like our internet. Third world dumping ground is good enough for the tax slaves!
