Maybe when sodium ion batteries come on line we’ll see a significant drop in electric car costs.

  • New inexpensive ICE car, $20K. Tesla Model 3, $50K.
  • ICE 200K miles, possible. Tesla, 500K mules possible.
  • ICE cost per mile $0.58 (tax allowance), Tesla $0.20 (est)

Tesla can be driven 2.5 times further than ICE, and costs 2.5 times as much; that is already, parity. However, cost per mile to drive a Tesla is half an ICE. Tesla is already less expensive than a cheap ICE car. Moreover, it is much safer if you are in an accident, and if you autopilot safety mode, while you drive, it will prevent accidents, and makes you 1/4 as likely to have an accident. If you use autopilot to drive, it doubles safety over you driving with safety mode.

I think the MIT report was funded by the oil and ICE producers, and misrepresents the facts.
