RE: How Viable are Electric Cars?
We've certainly seen a slow shift from high-end electric cars to everyday ones for the family. Even Tesla's 'affordable' model comes in at a solid $50000, so some the electric car market certainly needs more competition. It would be good to see our Government offer incentives for people who want to purchase electric cars, or for companies who want to manufacture electric vehicles.
It was funny, in a way, reading some of the comments on articles I was looking at. Those expressing the joys of driving electric saying they'll be swapping their other, conventional, car in for a Tesla, preaching that it's not about the cost it's about the environment. Yet if it's not brought within the financial reach of all car owners, then its not going to be of much help to the environment.
I wonder if the government is more concerned at the moment about how they will replace the income from fuel taxes if electric takes over. I suspect we'll be seeing a rise in rego costs.
