One would hope that economies of scale will soon bring down the price of EVs. They have far fewer components and moving parts and when battery production gets sorted will be far cheaper to make. However, the greed of manufacturers and government taxation will override the laws of economics, methinks, and we will continue to pay over the odds.
As a Motability lessor I could have had an EV this time (one year back) but the choice then was poor. Offerings were too slow, too short-range or too big (I don’t want an SUV!). If ID3 was on scheme then, I’d have had one. Some other scheme cars also tempting now: Kia and Honda are getting better.
