Why can't electric cars come down in price like TVs do

[–] maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't know anything about TV prices. Can you please elaborate?

[–] Karmanopoly@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I know the prices now are down probably like 70% from 10 or 15 years ago

Do ICE cars come down in price like TVs?

[–] Karmanopoly@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

They have very similar price change but up instead

In Australia you can get a BYD Atto 1 for 27k, which is 6k less than the cheapest new Toyota.

They have.

I mean, they did come down in price / km of range quite drastically in the last 15 years. 2011 Nissan Leaf could barely go 160 km on a charge for $32780, while the 2026 Leaf can go almost 500 km for $29990. It's like a three-fold decrease in terms of $/km.
