So the cars will become cheaper right? Right?
Who said it’s cheaper for YOU?
Actually, maybe.
Nissan and Honda both have a long history of undercutting everyone else to sell compacts and both have been working on EV tech, Nissan a little more openly than Honda, although Honda does have a deal between Acura and GM in the states for battery tech.
Honda cooks forever before they release new things, but Nissan will keep cooking new small EV compacts... forever. It's just their thing.
I understand that was meant as sarcasm, but actually they have become cheaper, in the way that new cheap EV models are arriving with much better range than previous cheap models.
Maybe, but this is why I already bought an EV in 2020. By the time the battery has degraded, I hope to be able to replace them with cheaper, higher capacity upgrades.
