Why can't electric cars come down in price like TVs do

[-] balsoft@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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?

[-] Karmanopoly@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I know the prices now are down probably like 70% from 10 or 15 years ago

Great 30000 new Chinese spyware infested liabilities on our streets. Just what we need.

[-] No1@aussie.zone 6 points 1 day ago

All modern cars have spyware. It's not just a Chinese thing.

Though I do like the idea of better public transport below.

Ohh 100%, only difference is some are more overt about it than others.

Railway and light rail infrastructure gets blocked by NIMBYs.

Bike and Pedestrian infrastructure gets blocked by Automotive industry groups.

Bus routes suffer from the same issues as automotive congestion.

The current State Government is being crucified by the expenses on Railway infrastructure and their efforts over the last half-decade catching up with the neglect from the previous decade.
