Electric cars have crossed lifetime cost parity with petrol vehicles across much of Europe. In the used-car market they now have the lowest total cost of ownership.
Newer models even match petrol cars in estimated lifespan, that’s something early EVs could not claim.
This study shows that any new electric vehicle sold today will bring financial benefits to its second and third owner. New electric cars registered now will deliver between €262 and €849/year savings for their future second and third owners compared to an equivalent petrol car.
Batteties still suck. Just a bit less.
The best electric vehicles are grid tied. We’ve had them for generations.
If those motherfuckers try to reinvent trains again I’m gonna lose my shit.
It’s cheaper to install a hanging electrical wire above a road, close of 4 lanes, and run a bus than to install train tracks.
This is very common in poorer countries. Maybe not as nice as trains, but it’s 90% as good and doesn’t need petrol.
