Very few people spend $25k up front for a car. They lease it or finance it over 60 or 72 months.

Unless you’re referring to the psychological sticker shock only and not the actual cash flow implications.

And that ignores the fact that the majority of car sales are not new cars, so the average purchase price of a car is lower still. Even once the majority of new car sales are EVs, we still have a long way to go (with both energy generation and the long period before the majority of miles driven are in EVs).
