So, like all the others, while China will produce cheap eCars. Look, I don't want to predict the future, but if I only have 20-30k for a new car, I simply physically can't buy a 60k SUV. You can't jump into a saturated market of other car companies, who almost all seam to want only expensive eCars and expect a good outcome. There's only so much money in the pockets of people and only so much people are willing to pay for a used eCar, if it needs expensive battery replacement soon. Not going to happen. Build cheaper cars or fail.

20-30K?! Holy crap. I've never spent more than 10K on a car. But then I've never bought a new car...

I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact the only electric car I'll ever own will be a 10 year old Nissan Leaf.

There's always one smug dunger driver in the comments.

Let people have nice things, OK?
