They conveniently left out the part where automakers were trying to sell their EV's for 20k over their gas-powered equivalents. Yes, I can save money on gas. No, it doesn't bridge a 20k gap in price.

Or the part that EV is more expensive to maintain. Tires wears down much faster rate due to weight and ridicilous torque that is inpractical in real life. Oh and more expensive insurance.

@poochyenarulez electricity isn't free. In California, where a large chunk of EVs are sold, the cheapest possible electricity rate for overnight, non-peak charging is often over 25 cents per KWH. Even on an econo box like a bolt or model 3, the cost per mile in electricity is easily 8 cents per mile. A prius or camry hybrid at ~50 mpg costs within 2 cents per mile as an efficient EV. Calculate a realistic cost per mile savings of even 15 cents, and you are easily going to have to drive 100k miles for a break even on a claimed $20k premium (which I think is overstated, but still). Factor in high depreciation, and there is little evidence to suggest EVs make sense for only cost reasons.

EVs do t have to be more expensive and frankly don’t need to be; just look to China. You can buy Chinese EVs in China for $5k USD; even with 100% Tariffs they can import $20k EVs to the US. US companies can absolutely make EVs, Hybrids, and ICE vehicles for under $25k but they choose to go after more money. If we eliminate government subsidies then the market would correct pricing as companies would have to be competitive.

Production costs are higher in countries with higher wages. China's products are cheaper due to low-wage labor, sometimes exploitative, and Chinese government support programs for their car makers. We have few options: try to learn from industry leaders from Toyota, Honda, or move production to cheaper countries, Vietnam, Indonesia, etc. Another BIG point on affordable pricing; Imagine making no friend by imposing tariffs to all country to bring manufacturing work home. Manufactory everything at home with the very high domestic wages and want to keep prices low for affordability? Good luck with that. Do you see how unrealistic it is?

I totally agree; I am 66 years old, recently retired, with approximately $1.2 million in external retirement funds. I am debt free and have very little money in retirement funds compared to the total value of my portfolio over the past three years. To be honest, I didn't do all this alone, but with the help of a financial advisor. Having one is currently the best way to trade in the stock market, especially for people nearing retirement.

I've shuffled through investment coaches and yes, they can be positively impactful to an individual's portfolio, but do your due diligence to find a coach with grit, one that withstood the 08' crash. For me, Sophia Maurine Lanting turned out to be better and smarter than all the advisors I ever worked with till date, I’ve never met anyone with as much conviction.

Any person with a realistic view of how to keep as light of an environmental impact as possible has retained their ICE vehicle and will continue to maintain them for as long as possible, and then purchace another second hand ice vehicle once the original dies. Lithium batteries can't be recycled, require unique mining in newly opened lands instead of existing mines, require many more unique materials not already in the manufacturing cycle, and blow up at a higher rate per capita than lead acid batteries. People that buy evs for personal use are either doing it for the fashion statement or are self-righteous and short sighted 'environmentalists' that can't recognize we won't be able to CONSUME our way out of our environmental crisis. The atmosphere isn't the only thing that's being trashed, there are many areas on land that actually affect the atmosphere that we're destroying in the name of 'net zero'.

A whole lot of hand-wringing and blame-shifting. Legacy auto companies make crappy and expensive EVs with terrible software. Legacy autos also outsourced everything and crippled their own ability to pivot on anything. They can barely change how a windshield wiper works without having to negotiate with 17 suppliers. Yes there are macro factors, but the lion's share of the blame lies squarely with the legacy auto companies themselves.
