I don’t get why battery cars are so expensiveThere’s so much missing in an EV that they should be around half the cost of an equivalent ice car, its the presently cheap electric supply due to not being taxed with equivalent road charges that makes them even worth considering, once the fuel taxes get added to already increasingly expensive electricity people will soon find out the real costs involved.
Battery costs of around $100 per kwh storage capacity is a clue.Obviously + VAT on the purchase price.
Added to 16p per kwh for the electric at real world meter price not a rip off loss leader + road fuel duty + 20% VAT.
A gallon of petrol contains almost 10 kwh.
