EVs don't make any money unless ur Tesla.
That's why they immediately raise the price.
They keep selling at a loss hoping to get market traction.

This can be solved by making sure subsidies are applied only some time after purchase to select group of people. Sweden has an EV incentive that only applies to poor people and basically gradually give you some of that initial purchase back over the course of three years. This discouragws price hikes at MSRP.

They're doing the same thing with those health insurance subsidies they're fighting over in congress. Supply and demand sets prices when the government throws money at something to help consumers afford it they just drive the price up by whatever amount the subsidy is since the companies had already determined what cost consumers would accept according to the supply curve.

I'm inclined to agree.

*Demand curve. And a subsidy essentially shifts the supply curve to the right, which does both lower prices and increase the quantity available/consumed. Just not nearly as much as policy advocates expect because of the dead weight loss inherent in government actions.

Based Swedistan making sure Abdul can afford a new EV every few years
>>
>>28772945
Don't worry, the racists in Parliament made sure Abdul can't get his cheap EV. The subsidies only apply to Swedish equivalent of hillbillies.

It can be solved by simply allowing direct purchases from the manufacturer.
So much of a vehicle's cost is tied up in s ammy bullshit created by middlemen, and the government is responsible.
>Taxes the manufacturer for operating
