Porsche's Idea for a Six-Stroke Internal Combustion Engine Looks Brilliant

500km range cars are still stupidly expensive right now, and the fact that paid chargers are quite expensive compared to home charging remains. This may change in the future, but we live in the present.

People aren't that stupid as you think, you are just ignorant. EV preachers take the easy route and ignore issues which are inconvenient to them, or focus only on home charging.

The average price of a new car sold in Germany for private individuals is 42.000€. Around $47,000 in USA. Prices are even higher if you include company or fleet purchases.

A RWD Model 3 and Model Y with around 500km range is even less than that right now in their available stock.

How can that be stupidly expensive if it’s even below average price?

Street chargers are more expensive than home charging, that is right. However it is still cheaper than gas and diesel by 50-70% by average in mainland Europe.

You can look up facts instead of calling me ignorant.
