The fewer people driving, the better. Still, I wish EV subsidies applied to pedal-assist e-bikes.
While I get the reasoning it is kind of like also a lowkey way of saying only rich people can drive in the city
75% of vehicle sales in Sweden are EVs https://cleantechnica.com/2023/01/03/plugin-evs-take-record-75-share-of-swedens-auto-market/
The two bestselling EVs in that article are the Volvo xc40 and the VW ID.4. Both of which are less than $45k usd (480,000 SEK for the xc40 and here’s a used ID.4 for 370k).
This myth that EVs are expensive has really got to go. The Nissan leaf has been available for over a decade at a super cheap price point. Here’s a Nissan leaf for sale for $8k USD/90k SEK. https://www.car.info/en-se/car-for-sale/nissan-leaf-24-kwh-109ps-2012-at-bossloh-co-bil-40876608
I get that. The reality is that there is a large segment of car owners that basically go from cheap used shitty car to cheap used shitty car as it is their only options.
You mentioning half a million Swedish kroners ad being cheap and affordable may speak to your privilege. No offense
I never said the words “cheap” or “affordable” in regards to any of the cars I listed, please don’t put words in my mouth. And I gave an example of an EV that is 1/5th the cost you decided to cherry pick out of my comment. You clearly don’t want to actually discuss this, you just want to ignore actual facts in order to justify your beliefs. I gave you several examples of cars across quite an elaborate price range, ranging from well under the average Swedish car price to the AVERAGE CAR PRICE https://expatrist.com/the-cost-of-owning-a-car-in-sweden/. Good luck dude, maybe one day you’ll see the facts in front of you and not ignore them.
I get what you are saying. Do you have a better solution? It’s my understanding that in some areas in China you would only be allowed to drive on certain days of the week based on the number on your driving license.
Not really. Just noticing it.
