I provided real world data. You keep providing what if’s and hypotheticals about cars that don’t exist and driving habits people don’t have. I give up - we’ll find out in 5 years, we’ll see how successful the hybrid market is. I’d put good money that they’re irrelevant by then.
- AnthonyMouse 1y ago"Real world data" on something driven by human behavior is basically a random number generator. People at different times and places have different preferences, laws and the economy change or are different in different countries, etc. As an obvious example, if a place has high electricity prices, like say central Europe after Germany shut down all their nuclear power plants and stopped being able to buy Russian natural gas, then people with a car that can run on either gasoline or electricity are going to more often choose the former because the latter is more expensive. But "real world data" from the time and place where that's happening is irrelevant to some other place or time where the cost of electricity is lower. And that's just one factor.
