| Probably lower buying power, poor on-the-go charging network and people not “trusting” the Evs as much yet |

| Also electric power generation is dirtier in Poland (still lots of coal), so the relative emissions benefit is lower. |

| ▲ | throwawaytea an hour ago | parent [-] | | Most people don't worry so much about thermal efficiency and care more about cost per mile.. If I could buy a type of vehicle that was only 10% thermally efficient but the fuel was practically free, that would be pretty cost effective even if not thermally efficient. |

| I mean, EVs are supposed to be cheaper than ICE vehicles. They probably would be if EU didn't let its automakers manufacture a high margin market again by blocking more affordable competitors |
