Like the article says, 2023 is going to be a big year in the S-curve for EV adoption.
CA gas prices are >$5 / gallon (1.33€ / liter). An extra $1,500 / year cost for average ICE over EV.
There's a burgeoning market of increasingly affordable options, many with an extra $7.5k off in 2023:
$25k Chevy Bolt
$28k Nissan Leaf
$30k Chevy Equinox EV
$34k Hyundai Kona EV
$37k VW ID.4
$40k Chevy Silverado EV
$41k Kia EV6
$42k Toyota bZ4x
I'm seeing more and more people who would've abhorred gas-savers like the Prius 5 years ago, now looking to purchase an EV. I'd easily expect to see 30% of new CA car sales be EV in 2023, with another 30% hybrid. It's going to be quite brutal for the auto mfg that are practically ICE-only: Dodge, Chrysler, Subaru, Mazda, etc.
- hedora 4y agoI bought a used EV for $22K earlier this year. If gas drops to $5/gallon and stays there (and my commute stays similar) it will completely pay for itself in about 5 years, on saved gasoline alone. The same used EV is $28K these days. I get the impression that no one can keep electric vehicles in stock (used or new).
