Electric car will be new smart phone. Without adding new features, electric car price can be reduce dramatically. A electric motor drive and tons of investment in battery tech can reduce entry level car price to four digit. But that is not at all wanted by industry. So automotive industry will keep adding automation and smart configurable suspension and other such nonsense to keep the price high. Good news for software industry nonetheless.
- neon_electro 9y agoDoes the new car market need to offer EVs for less than $10,000 if the used market already is? I purchased my 2013 Nissan Leaf SV for $11k in 2015.
- madengr 9y agoNew Nissan Leafs were selling for ~$13k here in Kansas City: $7,500 federal tax credit and $10k KCP&L rebate off a $31k car. http://metroenergy.org/2017/03/10000-off-nissan-leaf-june-30-2017/ http://metroenergy.org/2017/03/10000-off-nissan-leaf-june-30... I bought a lightly used 2015 for $8,500 in 2017.
- kumarvvr 9y agoOhh yes. I can imagine a tuk-tuk, vehicles that transport millions in third world countries, converted to electric vehicles. - No AC - No Heaters - Light weight - Ample amount of luggage space - Not much range required
