Announcing the cheap Jeep at a recent Bernstein investor conference, Tavares said the new $25k model would draw influence from the €20,000 ($A32,500) Citroen e-C3 the firm is currently developing for the European market, and that the same engineering tricks and component sourcing insights will dramatically lower the cost of the incoming SUV.

During the late innings of the ICE-age (as in the Internal Combustion Engine age) it has become clear that feeding gasoline and diesel to the next billion new cars is not going to be easy, or cheap. It is generous to say that an acre of Iowa can provide 12,500 miles per year at a cost of 10 cents each. New cars in 2015 get 25 mpg.)

The cost of ownership for EVs is still quite high. And they will probably come from China, if we do not start creating a really dutch alternative, cheap, simple, ultra lightweight and modularized.

In Germany, as in many European countries, you generally want to use a charging network subscription to get the best prices on charging — the cost of going “out of network” can be exorbitant, with many DC stations charging €0.79 / kWh to non-subscribers. Networks, like eNBW or Tesla, offer monthly subscriptions that can cut this cost in half.

The Chinese can promise to do this because they’re modernizing their economy. The cost of fully implementing the Kyoto Protocol (in terms of lost economic growth) has been estimated at roughly $180 billion a year. They’re investing in more efficient energy sources and nuclear power. It’s simply not in their interest to do so.
