CATL expects to sell batteries at $60 kWh or less in mid-2024, that 12 months ago it sold for $125 kWh. With further predicted price falls, this will knock $5,000 off the cost to make EVs by 2025. (cnevpost.com)

I feel like these pro-EV/solar comments are coming from out of touch rich fucks or literal kids.

Sure I’d love to adopt solar and reap the benefits of renewable energy! Oh wait, I pay a landlord corporation that would literally rather set money on fire than use it for infrastructure. And they’d just raise the rent to offset any of my savings.

Sure I’d love a 300-mile EV! I’ll buy one as soon as you convince my landlord corporation to install chargers and convince all the other corporate landlords to install them in case I move seeking lower rent!

Do you people just not understand home ownership does not exist as a reasonable life goal anymore?

If the feds don’t swing their dick around, EV is not happening. Credits and rebates don't cut it.
