Which long road trip did you undertake that was a pain due to the lack of charging infrastructure? Or are you just repeating what you heard from equally uninformed ICE owners? Unlikely that ICE manufacturers will go bankrupt in the next 5 years simply they have more fingers in their pies EV slowdown they reduced the number of EV's coming off the production line and simply increase other production lines such as ICE including hybrid One trick EV manufacturers their choices are limited cut price or try and export but export doors are closing soon USA and EU key examples they don't have the option of reducing output as they have no alternative products to sell Toyota hikes annual profit forecast after Q3 beats expectations Hikes full-year profit forecast by about 9% to 4.9 trillion yen Toyota's Q3 operating profit surges almost 76% Shares close up 4.8% after the announcement https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/toyota-posts-76-jump-q3-operating-profit-2024-02-06/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Surasak Posted March 8 Popular Post Share Posted March 8 Electric vehicles have been around for many years, so the technology is not new. Remember the electric milk cart, and they are over thirty years old. Battery tech has improved so much even over the past 2 to 3 years and is still improving. So the EV can only improve. Most peoples worry is centred around the Battery life, understandably. For me personally, I would wait maybe 2 more years and then give it very serious thought. But that is me, I cannot speak for others. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 6 months since his video, the Range Rover has become uninsurable and are depreciating massively in the first year.

Something is fishy 🐟 and for now EVs are best avoided. ICE car manufacturers have just recently joined the discount party, by slashing almost 30% of their prices. Your best strategy is to watch the market in 2024 and get a good deal for your favorite new ICE. https://autolifethailand.tv/discount-official-suzuki-ciaz-thailand/ Utter Tosh. Many automakers both ICE and EV are reacting to sluggish sales by discounting. It’s nothing to do with Chinese EV’s. 1 hour ago, Gweiloman said: EVs discounting, fishy. ICEs discounting, not fishy.
