When buyers can walk into a dealership and an electric, petrol and diesel version of the same car costs the same price, given how cheap evs are to run it will not make financial sense for most people to buy a petrol or diesel. In Norway where that parity already exists 70% of new cars bought are evs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.<\/strong> The Irish average driving distance is around 318 km per week according to CSO data, new model Evs can cover 450kms on a single charge.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.<\/strong> The future depreciation on petrol and in particular diesel cars will be significantly impacted by Government policy in the coming years and it is likely that both will become more expensive to own and run so electric and hybrid cars likely to be more resistant to losing value in the long term.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6.<\/strong> Evs will do nothing to solve congestion, and while substantial investment is needed in public transport and cycling we also need to think outside of the box, the Dutch model of bike and train to replace a car should be considered for longer commutes along with car sharing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7.<\/strong> Change can happen very fast.
