Identify your reasons for that and ask yourself if they're representative of how "the masses" tend to think about their purchases.
(the average used car price in the US is over $20k)
- 14 7y agoThis was my thoughts exactly. I am fairly well off comparatively I make way over minimum wage and there is no way I would consider a car that expensive. Affordable to the masses is more like $20,000 Canadian. That would be the price I could call affordable to the masses. Even a 20,000$ purchase would be hard for most people in my town. As someone who has not looked at EV car prices if this is what they call affordable I guess am still a long way off from owning an EV.
- beefalo 7y agoEVs will not be affordable for the masses even if they are able to get under $20k since home ownership is still effectively a prerequisite for owning an EV right now.
