    Bullshit. They make expensive electric cars because thats where the money was. Here in the eu tons of people want to drive electric, but at the prices they offer in this economy, they’ll only reach the wealthy.

    The only reason these “c level” directors and managers are coming out and saying this is because the easy money is gone and now they really have to innovate. Which is expensive.

      In the usa the poor don’t really have anywhere to charge these cars even if they were cheap enough to afford.

      It is impossible to compete with a less than five minute fill up for 300+ miles range.

      Not to mention that reports place charging on public charges to be more costly than gas.

        Poor people also can’t afford to buy brand new vehicles, so this is kind of a moot point, though something that will need to be addressed in the coming years.
