Mobility services will solve a lot of that. Not only do you spread the initial investment across all customers, you also spread out maintenance and depreciation, while getting economies of scale in fleet management. I have a hard time imagining a fleet of electric Google self driving cars being more expensive per mile than even the cost of gasoline. Of course gas will go down to $2 to try to compete, but they’re fighting physics. Mobility services also have some unique benefits: you can get a 2 seater or a 7 seater or whatever you want for each trip. You can do one-way rides. You can be on your phone. You can be ill/injured, etc. I just don’t see how an owned ICE can compare unless you are an ICE enthusiast.
