Disruptive Disruption

January 29, 2018 by Alan Stainer

Disruptive Disruption

The cost of technology is always coming down. Battery costs are down. Solar cell costs are down. Wind turbine costs are down. Renewable energy is the cheapest and cleanest source of energy around and electric cars are even getting cheaper.

The hidden costs of internal combustion engines are not often talked about, but EVs are giving traditional manufacturers a head ache. Traditional auto makers can effectively sell an ICE vehicle at a loss, because they will more than make up for that in maintenance and repairs in the first five years. EVs don’t give them that option, needing only really minor things done to them (like checking the brake fluid), which helps to explain why the initial cost is still higher.

Anyway, lots of really positive information about renewable energy and EVs in this episode.

    I have been buying them that is how I know.. These surveys are for show. If you were to shop around you would notice that for the past 2 years it has not gone down at all.
