Interesting. A thought. While EVs become more of a reality, it seems their ICE relatives are likely to lose value, in some circles. I emphasize "some" circles. In the areas where EVs are embraced, gas sales will suffer, driving price down with demand. In other areas, things will remain as they are, until the government begins assessing a carbon tax on gas vehicles - likely as a phased-in charge. There may be a credit for those without means. Face it, if you make below poverty, you cannot currently afford an EV, as most of your income is spent on housing and food.

It's a sad reality, that this is yet another aspect of life that will continue to polarize and further separate the haves from the have-nots. Such is. life today. peace

As more EVs hit the used market, this will change. But yes: Even more, most median to lower income don't own their home or have onerous owners' associations which will block their installation of chargers.

I only have an EV bike because it was used and half the new price - but that still made it equal in price to a new gas bike of the same ability. (Operating cost tho, nope! Mine is much cheaper)

The world is going to be interesting for the next few years. Like the late 70s-80s when the imports hit the US market and dominated. Except moreso!

Spending $20k to $40k more and the best ICE truck that they have thrown everything conceivably possible into, and it still can't compete in even a single category.

And we haven't even started talking about oil changes, air filters, brake pads, general maintenance, etc.

Throw in FSD for free given the price difference. CT wins!
