> The price of electric cars here is too high for most incomes ... Where is 'here'? Here in Australia the price of pure electric cars is way too high - and not helped by federal government (lack of) subsidies, tariffs, policy preferences for fossil fuel, lack of charging infrastructure, etc. I recently scoped out comparable ICE vs full electric new vehicles, and 'around the same' quality/comfort/range/size we were looking at roughly 3.5x the cost for electric. A 5y cost projection for an ICE that does 4.5 litres / 100 km, even with anticipated (higher) servicing costs, doesn't get us to a compelling proposition.
