Although you're replying to a weird question indeed, your comment makes a lot of claims that doesn't correlate with my observations. Do you have some stats to support this? > EVs are already cheaper than ICE cars when it comes to Total Cost of Ownership Are you talking about Norway or in general? Because overall I highly doubt that if we're talking about US/EU markets. In Norway EVs are heavily subsidized and ICEs are on the contrary taxed, so this might be true there. But in Europe ICE cars of comparable class are probably cheaper when looking at TCO, especially given abysmal depreciation of EV batteries. From quick googling it seems that EVs are _sometimes_ cheaper when one factors in tax cuts and/or subsidies and only on the horizon of ~4 years +- one year. Given the average lifetime of a car of ~10 years (now closer to 12), EV will be much, much more expensive than ICE when averaged across population. EVs are cheaper than ICE cars in China or if they are imported from China without tariffs. Do we really want to go that way? > save 30 million dollars on the project due to decreased requirement for active ventilation > The number of car fires in Norway is going down, as EVs are ~10-20 times less likely to catch fire These sound like a rounding error when estimating net effects of EV vs ICE. > Norway can already measure significant decreases in air pollution. What impact do you think that has on the public health insurance expenses? Norway always had exceptionally clean air. I think that this impact is not measurable.
