Reply to comment by Green-Cruiser in Embrace what may be the most important green technology ever. It could save us all by stepsinstereo

I’m totally on board for going green, but until I can buy a work van for less than $10k - I can’t go EV. I’m poor.

At some point gas will be expensive enough to the point that converting a van to electric will be a no-brainer. If you only need the van to go under 100 miles/ charge you can get close for 10k.

I wonder if gas prices might actually fall substantially at some point over the next 10-20 years as more people buy EVs and demand for gas drops. I think that’s one of the reasons we need a legislative end date for fossil fuels, not just the old rely on the free market strategy.

I think what might happen is prices go up as production reduces due to reduced demand.

This.

Also, I imagine they'll put a vice tax on it like they do alcohol and cigarettes
