what do you think a subsidy is/does?

that is not true. the current price drop is a market adjustment because auto makers were producing EVs to meet subsidized levels of demand. the abrupt cessation of subsidies resulted in a temporary oversupply of EVs, which caused manufacturers to offer large incentives on EVs to clear old inventory. The price of manufacturing EVs has remained wholly unchanged by this subsidy policy. average EV price changed by 3.5k, subsidy was 7.5k, consumers are worse off as a result. try again.

Yea that’s not why they got cheaper

Oh, so the 10k figure is one specific vehicle/brand, which you didn’t state initially. Did you miss the whole part where this is a temporary effect of supply and demand mismatch? or just ignoring it because it isn’t helpful for your inane agenda?

The reason the idea that getting rid of subsidies for a product making that product cheaper is counterintuitive, is because it is in fact made up bullshit

i mean Hyundai may have cut prices by $10k on their shitbox ioniq, for the 25 and 25 model years, but the notion that any of these reductions or incentives will stick around long term, and aren’t just a way to move unsold inventory, is just laughable

the prevalence of SUVs isn’t a result of supply and demand, if that’s what you were implying. it’s the result of CAFE regulations that incentivize building larger vehicles to skirt fuel efficiency requirements.

i mean it’s demonstrably true, but you don’t particularly seem the type for facts or evidence
