But not if you take into account the leveled cost of ownership. But it’s an up front cost rather than spread out, so it’s more difficult. Plus the cost can be way lower if people okay with shorter range smaller vehicles.
Electric vehicles are being sold and subsidized on the idea that they are better for the environment, but in general, they aren’t great. At this point, it’s more of a selling point to get people to discard old cars, versus the environmental message that is being pushed
With average us energy mix and fuel economy, a new EV will have emitted less co2 than continuing to use an old gas car after about a year. There are factors other than just co2 to the environment, (for example, cobalt mining is pretty bad) but EVs are much better on co2 at least.
BEVs are fundamentally more expensive than conventional cars. That is the real problem here. Blaming the dealers won’t change that.
