True. However we make purchases in the present, not the future.
People who need a car today and runs the numbers will probably come to similar conclusions: they might like to buy electric, but hybrids or even non-hybrids make more sense for at least the foreseeable future, due to wider availability, good track record, lack of severe depreciation, etc. Sadly, because of the rate of improvements in electric cars, they tend to depreciate at a much higher rate as well.

And government subsidies work to tip the balance sheet in favor of now rather than later. > Sadly, because of the rate of improvements in electric cars, they tend to depreciate at a much higher rate as well. Means you can buy them on the used market for cheap. Price out used Nissan Leafs on craigslist.
