For now. Because they are new. But there's every reason to believe this is temporary. Electric cars are way simpler to manufacture. Far fewer moving parts. Literally.
- toomuchtodo 5y agoRight, you use the green bonds financing to negate the EV/ICE price delta and capital carrying cost of that price delta until manufacturing learning curve reaches the point where the financial engineering isn't necessary.
- tonyedgecombe 5y agoI suspect it's going to be quite a while before they reach price parity. Even with the current high capital costs supply isn't matching demand. We have to build a lot of battery factories and that isn't going to happen overnight.
