Some cars list prices have increased hugely, some upto 26% in the last few years. How much has the allowance we get increased? It’s just not keeping up at all and this is one reason we seeing ap’s rise so much.
Then there’s the other reasons, the lack of chips and raw materials and the goverment and eu policies put in place, these all have increased the costs of making the cars. I only see this getting worse as we move forward.
How much lithium is there? I saw an article not long ago that said there’s not even enough to replace all the cars in the uk currently, never mind the world. What it will mean imo is less cars than now, us sharing cars and not owning them or leasing them and then once driverless cars hit the road. no one will be allowed to drive as it’s not safe and for our own good.
Not much thought is ever given to us with Mobility issue and our dependance on a car to get out, live a better life in these green policies. Walk or cycle more what if you cannot? Now we cannot even afford to lease a suitable car if you need something larger or higher etc, than the basic smallest car. Which usually for me also has the basic most uncomfortable seats for my back.
