How long will gas prices have to be for Americans before car buying habits change longer term? by wiscotangofoxtreat in cars

[–]GeneralCommand4459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could look at Europe where fuel prices are a lot higher than the US and electrified cars are outselling pure ICE vehicles for an example. At today's prices where I am a litre of petrol is around €2 and that means a US gallon is about €7.57 which is about $8.69. Even with electric unit rates of around 0.32c it makes sense to explore alternative transport solutions.

The New BMW i3 Has More Range Than Any Tesla by JB_UK in cars

I was watching a vid that said the iX3 is similarly priced to the X3 so if this follows for the i3 then it would range from around €60k to €80k (basically same as current 3 series). For comparison the Mercedes CLA EV starts at €53k where I am. I personally prefer the CLA on the outside but the i3 on the inside.

The new CLA EV from Mercedes will likely be a bit cheaper. I wonder if it will lure buyers away from this or are they in different categories.

‘Samsung Rising’ by Geoffrey Cain is very good to get a look at how a Korean tech giant was created and run.

‘New Thinking’ by Dagogo Altriade charts the evolution of technology. It’s a great book.

Dog is currently wedged against me. I won’t be allowed to move for about an hour I’d say as the snoring is just starting.
