Its funny to see some of the members are suggesting EVs to deal with the increase in fuel price but running car isn't the only thing we get affected whenever the price of fuel increase. Increase of fuel price affect every consumer goods which affects the living cost even contribute to the further increase of inflation when the market is already down due to economic crash all over the world. Finding the alternative source is long term and need bigger change in the current infrastructure so government has to stop spending the taxes for their defence and start spending it in the more useful ways. How many of you agree with it?
I love the concept of electric cars, however, I believe that they're a still at a relatively early stage of development, which makes it hard to be widely adopted. If I were to buy one with a decent battery autonomy, I'd have to spend more than $40.000-$50.000. We can hardly afford to pay the extravagant fuel prices, let alone buy an expensive brand-new car. In the future perhaps, when the prices drop to more feasible levels, I'm pretty sure they'll be a number one option for most consumers.
Again we only talk about the electric cars but this isn't end with the cars alone, I am talking about moving the goods from ship to truck, even we are in the development of electric trucks but what about moving the billion tonnes of cargo across all over the world.
