āFrom 2023, electric vehicles will be cheaper than petrol carsā
The years 2021 to 2023 will be a turning point for e-mobility, according to Thomas Sedran, head of strategy at the VW group. āAt that point, an electric car will cost the same or even be cheaper than a vehicle with a combustion engine that will stay below the CO2 limits of that time,ā Sedran told manager magazin. Sedran said that although emission reduction technology will increase the costs of conventional cars, batteries will become much cheaper. āMoreover, there will probably soon be driving restrictions in cities, which will make e-cars much more attractive.ā
