I am setting the record straight for real EV ownership experience. Not pros or cons, just simple EV facts that people who have never lived with one may not realise.You are providing the pros and I am providing the cons. You obviously just don't like the fact that I can envisage cons that you or others have been unable to think of.
I attended a video conference meeting a week or so before Christmas where they said that no manufacturer is currently making a profit from EV s. and yet they are already expensive to buy. Increased sales could make them cheaper but there is no guarantee of that. They could just as easily remain the same price or become more expensive for models with more power in range.
The UK's number 1 selling car is the Fiesta, it outsells the UK number 2 selling car by something like 20,000 units a year, it is also the top selling supermini hatchback but Ford make a loss on every Fiesta as they do on every Focus sold in Europe. It's only SUV's and their commercial vehicle sales which make a profit.
I am just voicing what I've noticed on here, where you seems to shoot down most EV ideas, seems very narrow minded. A little bit of hope for the future is never a bad thing
Please explain to me the difference between Ford making a loss on every Fiesta/Focus sold in Europe, and other manufacturers not making a profit from selling EV? Sounds the same? If Ford is happy to do that, then what's the problem with selling EV's?
