the same price as a internal combustion engine, then I'm in. Right now I can buy a mid range Honda HRv for about 25 grand mol. All the EVs are nearly double.
Alternatively a western buyer could keep their current ICE car for a decade longer and get a small 2nd car like a Wuling Bingo. These are city cars, good for 60 miles per charge and priced at under $7k. If not for protectionism they could be sold outside of China today.
Maybe at some point the small battery could be replaced with a more compact one and the same city car could be kept for 20-30 years. That's one approach that is better for the buyers and the environment, at the expense of the SUV industry.
