Mh, so far in EU we have ONLY ONE "cheap EV", Dacia Spring, PERHAPS (since I do not test it) useful for mild city usage since it have just 30kWh battery capacity, hardly useful elsewhere. For such use and expected lifetime, without local incentives (vary from State to State but are around 4-6k€) it's not even that cheap. Others EVs on sale here can't hardly be called cheap.
Surely, MOST people change cars after just few years, BUT they do so because cars have a certain re-sale value, since EVs re-sale value here is normally considered ZERO a reasonable life expectancy is FAR longer, and hardly an EV last more than 8 years with a still usable range for the owner.
Long story short: for those like me WFH so with a reduced car usage, living in an area where p.v. or eolic or micro-hydro are options, well, they might be an option, but for most people diesel need to be 4€/liter to make them economically sound. Artificially pushing oil prices so much will result in riots so probably BEFORE EVs became spread we probably have eVTOL as normal stuff for a little cohort of population, while most others have converged to social-housing depending 100% on public transportation at their conditions. And no, that's not good at all for humanity.
Honestly I'm convinced by the deep need of a change, but the ongoin change as advertised it's not that convincing, with enough room to suspect very very very terrible things underneath.
