gas-powered cars will become much more expensive to operate. Perhaps not in the US and A, but everywhere the Climate treaty of Paris has any value.
In Germany, you can buy used luxury cars at high discount due to being fuel inefficient for years now, and that is with barely a price increase for gas and barely 1 l/100km to through 3 l/100km cars taking up more market share.
- wil421 1y agoBeside fuel efficiency and the long charge time for EVs, many EVs seem more like non-repairable iPhones than their ICE counterparts. Tesla’s look very safe but seems like you can not replace body parts. Same with Rivian. I saw a guy dent a rear quarter panel and the quote was $45k. Only because the crazy way they manufactured things. Is BYD any different?

- Ekaros 1y ago4100 still sounds insane amount of money. An amount that sounds like something somewhere or everywhere has gone wrong.
- the_sleaze_ 1y agoMore a story about the body shop / car insurance interplay and blue collar skilled service industry / Private Equity dynamics. My beat up truck got quoted 6k to replace a dent caused by a fender bender.
