You start by using insulting language and talking about hybrid vehicles which do not offer the same fuel savings as EVs, do not have the mechanical simplicity and elegance of EVs, and thus do not have the lower maintenance costs of EVs, as well as having a significantly shorter expected lifetime, while also supporting intransigent auto makers and stinking.
Then you agree with me by saying that upcoming EVs will be cheaper than ICE cars. (I think we can agree that in the context what is meant is a cheaper TCO).
And $10k is a very conservative number which doesn’t even account for a lot of benefits, from safety, to externalities like pollution emitted by a hybrid or other ICE car, to the probable much longer lifetime of an EV relative to an ICE car, as well as being able to look at yourself in the mirror.
Also your choice of a Corolla for comparison is surprising. We should compare prices of cars with similar features, not low end cars against high end cars. This pretty much invalidates your comparison which claims a $20k price difference.
And even if you still believe what you think, one way to look at it is that we are all going to be paying for climate change one way or another. If we pay a little up front to save on gas, maintenance, safety, fun, reducing pollution, and supporting companies that give a shit, we will reap even more benefits later.
