Yeah, but that totally makes sense if no one is buying. It’s just, that no one is buying, because automakers aren’t really interested in EVs, since gas powered have bigger margins, meaning initial manufacturing cost is lower, so they can jack the prices. When they do it with EVs it’s getting very ridiculous very fast.
Well, the majority of Swiss people drives overpriced SUVs anyway… so I guess the margins are pretty good
And people here see the saving potential if you use less than 0.35 CHF/kWh 🔋 power compared the often more than 2.0 CHF/L ⛽️ power
1L of ⛽️ has about 10kWh but energy going to the street is way less compared to EV
I hate the SUV trend as a whole, but especially in EVs it’s just so non-sensical. Trying to build more resourceconsious vehicles, but at the same time building them twice as big and heavy as they need to be, while trying to achieve range …
Charging infrastructure is still pretty shit compared to refueling a gas car as well.
Yes and no.
The EV refueling infrastructure while on the road is kinda shit.
The home refueling infrastructure for gasoline cars is really, really shit.
And if you’re in a European city without off-road parking, at-home refuelling for EVs is shit too.

Maybe in your country, here the majority of sold cars are electric. And the charging network is great. (Switzerland)
Yeah, I’m from Germany. So we are big petrol heads over here …
Also, my point was about pricing, is that different in Switzerland? I would doubt that.

Right. Thanks for sharing.
