First, the very concept of a market for green cars is difficult to pin down, due to the existence of separate and competing technology trajectories. High entry costs may exist for new technologies, and therefore lead to high cost of switching to these new technologies for users. —“Market Development for Green Cars”.

Like all the automakers, BMW dabbled in concept electric cars over the years. The ZEV program is meant to commercialize ZEVs. Accountants have suggested BMW could transfer the tax credit, which would have the effect of bringing down the steep $850/month the Mini E is costing its “pioneers.” Only BMW knows and they’re not saying.

Drori is widely credited with transforming the Roadster from a concept to a commercially viable vehicle. In 2008, Tesla unveiled its first effort to reduce the cost of its goods, the Model S sedan, which would cost $76,000, or three-quarters of the Roadster’s price. The Model S was a critical and commercial success.

Carbon pricing alone, however, is not enough to sufficiently reduce domestic emissions, the report warns.
