Why can't electric cars come down in price like TVs do
I mean, they did come down in price / km of range quite drastically in the last 15 years. 2011 Nissan Leaf could barely go 160 km on a charge for $32780, while the 2026 Leaf can go almost 500 km for $29990. It's like a three-fold decrease in terms of $/km.
In Australia you can get a BYD Atto 1 for 27k, which is 6k less than the cheapest new Toyota.
They have.
I don't know anything about TV prices. Can you please elaborate?
I know the prices now are down probably like 70% from 10 or 15 years ago
Do ICE cars come down in price like TVs?
They have very similar price change but up instead
