If you add an arbitrarily large tax (e.g north of $20k as in Norway) on ICE vehicles, then one can make them as cheap as one wants in comparison. Subsidies work

If you add an arbitrarily large tax (e.g north of $20k as in Norway) on ICE vehicles, then one can make them as cheap as one wants in comparison. Subsidies work the same obviously but they cost money. Same with gas prices. I pay $10/gal for diesel and that’s fine. The point where EVs are economical compared to ICEs without sales taxes, vehicle taxes, fuel taxes, subsidies etc might be many years away. But that doesn’t seem very interesting if the point where consumers actually find them cheaper is long before that.
