I mean, that's the comparison that matters to most people. The vast majority of cars are not luxury cars. Just because EVs target a little up-market, that doesn't exempt them from the reality that they're being compared to ICE cars in lower price categories by most buyers.
- Retric 3y agoIf looking for “cars for most buyers” then you may as well strip out the 100+k EV’s from these pools which then lowers the average.
- kennywinker 3y agoI mean yeah, fair point. Average sale price of a category of car is probably a bad way to gauge affordability. A better question would be what percentile of car purchases do ev prices fall into.
