The EVs in my suburb and adjacent suburbs are mostly owned by middle class professionals: doctors, solicitors dentists & accountants, who, no doubt claim the car including its high level of depreciation to their respective companies (before tax)
Big fleet buyers sush as Comm & State Govs, car rental companies and Taxis-Uber-Police have not yet started to buy in volume. This makes up 50%+ of the new car market,
IMO the achillies heel of EVs is the cost/durability of the battery and once the Chinese sort that out we could see a range of EVs sub $30K
EVs should have less labour in manufacture & assembly so, IMO all that is needed is economy of scale and cheap batteries.
