Featured The EV version of the "Dust to Dust" report

If climate change and geopolitical problems didn’t exist, sure, gas cars would be ideal.
But since they do exist, we have to find ways to move ahead with other technologies.
If there is a better way than electric, I’m all ears

 

For me, you can ignore all the geopolitical and climate change issues and I would still rather be driving an EV.
I do agree though that if you include the benefits of health, foreign policy, pollution and CO2 it becomes an even more solid argument.
What the heck, through CO in there as well

 

Right, but a lot of people dont care about climate change. I wont pretend like I live my life worrying about something that doesnt affect my short human lifespan.

I can tell you what people do care about. Its money.

Give people a cheap car thatll be cost efficient to own and they dont care if its EV or ICE.

 

I was mildly surprised a couple years ago by the MSRP of the Versa. It's up 3k this year. Hey hey some peeps gots the do ray me and others don't even have the rayme but no matter what we has got. it's usually not enough.

America

 

agreed, that's why the need to be nudged

 

It's also going bye bye, as is the entire econo-compact car segment in the USA. In 2025, there will be no more Versas, so get one now while you still can if you're interested in them. Econo cars are overpriced as a result. It's cheaper to buy a new Versa than a 4-year-old one, at least according to Edmunds. The Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris and others are also still very high. The entry level car is going bye bye. My question is, will an EV econo car take that place? Imagine a $15,000 EV, or even a $20,000 since we can assume most people will save on fuel and such, that is just as good as the common econo-compact car of today? An EV Nissan Versa? An EV Mitsubishi Mirage? An EV Toyota Yaris? Any EV Honda Fit? An EV Chevy Spark or Sonic? An EV Ford Fiesta or Focus? Get me one that's $20,000, goes at least 200 miles, and doesn't cost more than $180 to insure and I'll buy it.
