Electricity prices will also be going up.
And who has hours to fuel up a car anyway, no matter what it runs on.
Plug-in EV market is maybe 5 years away from saturating. Maybe less.

BYD vs TSLA

Tesla stock has broken key support and needs a lot of repair. BYD stock is approaching highs in a deep base

At first when I heard it the news sounded like a joke - like back when the Yugo was popular, SNL had a commercial for the “Adobe” - a mexican built minicar …

but it’s a real deal - a Vietnamese EV manufacturer - VinFast - is about to start selling vehicles here in the UW. One of several articles about the company you can find on-line.

I might consider an electric car when the NIO model comes to the US.

There are so many EV options now. That’s a huge improvement from the original i3 which was hideous.

Please wait for Apple Car :stuck_out_tongue:

EV ranges are highly variable and can easily be cut in half depending on driving conditions.

That review of the Vinfast VF8 seemed to be from a Tesla fanboi and not a very neutral person. Yes, there may be issues with the car, but it seems as if the engineers are going to listen to the consumers rather than jump 3 spaces ahead only to fall back 2 when things go badly. The warranty also seems like they are taking a page from Hyundai who in the late 80’s had terrible product and image issues, but turned things around with their extended warranty solution. Having ridden in a Model S and a Model X, I can say from first hand there are build quality issues baked into Elon’s product still.

Some other EV’s -

The Electric Hummer: (Blegh, IMHO)

and Fisker Ocean. An interesting vehicle, but with Fisker’s previous BK its a company that I’d be hesitant to buy from.

Personally speaking I’m still waiting for my Electric Ural.
