Affordable vehicles are everywhere. The problem is that people want a massive chunk of affordable metal— and a multi ton electric powered piece of machinery is a bit questionable to expect to be affordable if you still want to pay workers right.
It’s easier to build affordably in countries that have lower costs of paying workers.
I’m very happy with my 24 solterra, it’s pretty much Toyota, but it’s the best performing Subaru I’ve ever had. A shame there aren’t more Americans interested in buying them.
We had a loaner vehicle for a weekend, the Crosstrek wilderness, and I was talking with the car brained boss about getting the solterra back, I told him I miss the power, he heard “I’m going to miss the power” thinking the internal combustion engine was in any way an improvement to the all electric, I told him besides the engine noise there is nothing the ice does higher numbers in than the all- electric.
It’s half the price of most new cars, and it blows everything but the highest performing cars (and other electric vehicles) out of the water.
Key word is Europe. Because us north-americans are stuck 30 years in the past in terms of transport, but with cars twice as big.
even Mexico is building affordable vehicles, I’m driving a 20 year old car
