Erik .... You have put your finger on a good point. Overpriced EVs.
Is anyone capable of making a cheap EV that the majority can afford? Apart from the threat of jail time who can be forced to buy anything that is "overpriced" ?
By "not-overpriced" I mean any affordable price that the majority in the world can pay.
Expecting the world's economic underclass to buy a luxury product is a pipe dream that will not happen.
The middle class is being squeezed by house prices and rents.
There's just so much juice in the economic lemon. Capitalists could easiy fail to capitalise this genuine EV opportunity.
Cheap with inbuilt obscolescence is not cheap. Expensive and unaffordable is not a safe marketplace. Quallity at a reasonable cost is not popular in boardrooms. There's many a slip between the cup and buyer lips.
Society is already on a downward slide. "Overpriced" is for a growing minority of unwilling wage slaves. Solve that and you may sell more EVs.
Bike tracks and pedal power for the masses could be the answer when the chickens of luxury living come home to roost. Currently we are too busy building a financial house of cards. Economic collapse is inevitable in a world of hysterical expenditures on pop singers and professional sport. (Refer :- "The Fall of the Roman Empire")
Billions wasted on things that don't matter. Consumer escapism is not a good environment for unaffordable EVs. There's a limit to how much advertising and coercion can squeeze from people. Perhaps a loan scheme like university HECS for affordable EVs could work.

Believe it or not ... I believe in PLS and affordable quality EVs Affordable to a productive majority Not an unproductive minority.
