At some point EVs will be cheaper on the sticker price and cheaper to run. The US car industry is desperately trying to prevent this, but it looks like China is crossing that point.

(I would be very interested in sticker price / fuel price / subsidy / tax accounting EV vs ICE breakdowns from inside China)





I think they're already cheaper in China, especially on the low-end where (as per Vimes' Boots) sticker price matters more than TCO.

China's got this, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuling_Hongguang_Mini_EV

That's extremely cute. The Euro version is as low as E13,000: https://nikrob.lt/ ; let's not forget that depreciation will make secondhand versions even cheaper.
