You're saying a few weeks of high gas prices and a ton of people have gone out to buy overpriced tablets on wheels? I don't believe that. | ||

Could be. People are not very logical and schools don't teach math anymore. It is somewhat complex subject. Taking in account actual use, cost of fuel and maintenance and then comparing it to purchase price and depreciation is bit of a work. And I don't think too many people do that when they should. | ||

Well, it's being reported as a surge in interest, whether that is followed by increased sales or not will be seen in the next month or two once these cars are delivered. But anecdotally, second hand EVs which were flooding car lots everywhere have substantially thinned out. There are still some, but a lot less than a month ago. https://www.regit.cars/car-news/uk-fuel-price-hike-sparks-36... Also lol, you're funny implying that ICE cars aren't overpriced tablets on wheels either. It's all cars nowadays. And UK's cheapest car right now happens to be a pretty decent EV anyway, a Dacia Spring. | ||
