I feel it’s dishonest and deceptive practice if it misleads buyers into thinking EVs are closer to parity than they actually are. When EVs are only 10% it’s one thing, with little impact on ICE and HEV, but at 50% for example, the costs of ICE and HEV would have to be much higher to subsidize a much greater number of EVs. When average buyers see vehicles getting more and more expensive, do they realize a part of the increase is indirectly due to EVs? I doubt many do. Look at what is going on in the EU-ICE/HEV prices will go up to make people not buy them and encourage EV sales which would be at a similar price point. The increase in price on ICE/HEV is a punishment tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
