Most people can't afford to buy electric cars, so.... Either they become cheaper with time (they should) or less people will be able to drive a car...

I'm in the market now looking for cars and I was shocked by how expensive the electric ones are in comparison to hybrids or fuel driven ones.

Most people can’t afford to buy new cars period.

This doesn’t stop people buying 10 year old ICEs. You can still buy a 10 year old one in 2045.

I’m pretty sure EV tech has improved enough by then to make cheap cars possible.
