Comment on Battery electric vehicles lose their spark in Europe as hybrids steal the show

Ah, so any specific color. Yeah, that makes more sense.
Something I’ve heard from people in my life is that once you have a nicer car with all the creature comforts, it is really hard to go back. Strong air conditioning, extra comfy seats, quiet driving or the right kind of loud driving are all hard to give up.

That’s true but you can get all of that in a used car. There is a decent <20k mile used market and the same car new vs. One with 10miles on it in mint condition is thousands of dollars. The same people that will spend a day shuffling around money to try to game a 0.1% interest increase will throw piles of extra money for that new car though
