The EU passed a law that bans all gas/petrol powered cars starting 2035!

Sorry hahaha

@Elessar true

@eMortal don't count on it.
Or look at it this way:
1. No expensive powerplant to build.
2. No expensive drivetrain to build (Transmission, Driveshaft, Rear Axle).
3. No fuel tank or fuel distribution system.
All of which takes about 45% of the cost to build a vehicle.

But do understand this one Fact: They have been building Electric Motors for years. Many lift-trucks in warehouses and factories are powered by electric motors. So the technology is not 'NEW' by any means.

Now if it costs $50K today to build an Internal Combustion Engine Vehicle, then it should cost less than $30K to build an Electric Vehicle. But instead, they're pricing EV's from 30% to 100% over the cost of any ICE Vehicle.

@dakotaviper I think it’s numbers and of course profit. They don’t make enough EV to bring production costs down.

@Carissimi I think it was because there was a scare about nuclear energy so they switched back to coal even though nuclear is fine..

They got rid of nuclear energy and depended on Russia for oil. We know how that worked out. @Ryannnnnn

@Carissimi Totally agree.A hard lesson.

@Elessar it was a mistake.

@Elessar you dont think electricity will go up once demand and stress on the power grid go up?

@SooperSarah The fact is, the price of electricity can go down the more the grid transitions to renewables and other sources you as a country directly control.

The price of coal, gas and oil that we necessarily import, instead, will always be susceptible to the whims of the Putin of the situation.

@Tastyfrzz that’s true 😂

Yep@WintaTheAngle

@Mellowgirl chip shortage yes, but that can be fixed. There’s no battery shortage.

@eMortal I dunno
