> I get that the prices will come down, but they're not likely to undercut the Honda Accord/Toyota Camry level A used Chevy Volt can be had for about ~$12k (depending on the market), and will cover most common trips with electricity only. But still let you burn gas to get to Grandma's if needed. Minivans are coming out this year that do the same -- in four years, those will be around ~$15k. That's what folks are talking about. In the future, every car will be either fully electric (Tesla, Bolt) or fully electric with an extra gas-engine backup just for long road trips (Volt, BMW i3). There probably won't ever be a conventional gas-only level 4 vehicle, because by the time level 4 becomes common, few people will want a conventional gas-only car at all.
