Seems unfair to make everyone pay for Chargers only the wealthier people who can afford EVs use
That talking point is a bit out of date - the average price for a car int he USA (for example) is quite a bit higher than base EVs now. They're cheaper to manufacture and gas vehicles won't be able to compete. The only missing piece is infrastructure for charging in some places.
It won't be long before EVs are the cheap option. Tesla for instance is supposedly putting out a cheap option soon, but I'm not holding my breath.
Tesla is probably a good one to bank on, though. The gigacasting process shaves a LOT of manufacturing cost.
Lol Tesla's cheap option will be made of cardboard judging by the quality of their expensive models. Also the cheapest EV in my city used is roughly 15k. About 10k above my budget
Give it a few years. EVs are inherently cheaper to manufacture, and economies of scale are kicking in like crazy now. "Lol" is not exactly a great response to that basic fact.
