Maybe in your country. Chinese electric cars are plenty cheap, many of them are cheaper than most ICE cars

You are aware that these vehicles are sold outside China as well, right? I'm not making the point of "in china they're cheap", I'm making the point "they are cheap, maybe just not in your country"

You're making this up.

The average car in Germany costs above 40k€, that's very similar to what an EV such as the BYD Dolphin can cost (from 35k€ upwards).

You don't need to convince me that cars suck, I don't own one as a matter of principle, but there's no point in lying about the price of things

The average price of a new car in the USA is $47k. Comparing averages is more realistic than going to the lowest extreme example.

True

volodya_ilich ,

You buy much cheaper cars than the average German then. Good for you to unironically know better than the average German and understand that beyond the 20-25k mark, you're paying for stupid stuff and branding.

I can analyse this because I can compare studies and averages, my whole point was "no, electric cars aren't even that expensive anymore", not "cars are good and electric cars are always better and everyone should get one".

Again, I don't know what "here" means, I'm telling you that the average new car in Germany (since you mentioned central Europe)costed more than 40k€, and that's more than some seriously good electric cars like the BYD Dolphin.

It doesn't matter, my point stands, half the people in the US who buy new ICE cars could buy electric cars for the same of less money. My whole point is that the price has gone down a lot.
