They’re going to buy BEVs… because prices change with time, and this move tells automakers that they are about to need to address this new market of sub-20,000 euro vehicles. Cars are going to have to drop in price, because automakers aren’t going to want to miss out on this huge demographic.

I think they’ve been trying, but it doesn’t exist because BEV tech is still expensive. It requires rare earth metals and big battery packs that cost a lot to make. We’re pretty good at combustion tech and building a combustion engine is much cheeper. Without massive subsidies across the entire EU I struggle to see how this can be implemented.
The cheapest BEV today is $30k. That’s the Nissan Leaf at the lowest trim package. Maybe the industry can lower costs a little, but we would need a pretty big jump in tech by 2035.

The 2023 Chevy EUV is $27k, which is decently cheaper, and shows a general trend towards competent cars at cheaper prices.
