AutoExec Summary
Electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining attention, but many consumers are still hesitant due to high purchase prices and limited options. However, the market is changing rapidly, with more affordable EVs becoming available. State-specific subsidies and novated lease options can also reduce the overall cost of owning an EV. Despite concerns about battery life, replacement costs, and charging infrastructure, advancements in technology are alleviating these worries. Higher insurance costs for EVs are also a deterrent, but the industry is working to address this issue. Government incentives, including exemptions and rebates, aim to make EVs more financially accessible. Overall, the market is growing rapidly, with 200,000 new EVs sold in 2022.
