    Basically once price hits parity with nice it’s over. Why would you upgrade to ice when they are getting blocked for resale after 2030 in several countries.

    Running cost is cut in half. No oil changes less moving parts and so hopefully less maintenance costs.

    I think honestly for most people. It’s cost.

    If you need a reliable running vehicle and it can get you from a to b. A little of people will look at lowest price.

    Once you start earning more and need certain criteria you have to shop around a bit until you find that.

    Once the market gets flooded with evs the price will start to get pushed down. Second hand market will be great but battery is going to be selling point.

    Anecdotal I was just on a trading site looking at evs. Very few had range listed. Yet that is the most important part of an ev. I need to know range price and to some degree mileage. Batter check ups are going to be key. No point buying a dirt cheap car if battery replacement is 30k.
