(90 posts)Although I doubt it will be a Rimac, or even a Tesla. As soon as the price comes down to a level comparable to ICE powered cars, I'll be on board. I have solar panels on my roof, so I will be able to charge it, essentially, for free.

(90 posts)Just not the cost. I use the example of the Hyundai Kona, because it comes in ICE and electric versions. The electric version is $10,000 more expensive, for the base model. The electric version would save me around $1,500 a year in fuel, but it would still take me almost seven years to make up that difference. Probably won't keep the car that long, so I couldn't see paying the extra money.
