How long until we see €2 a litre and will it push more to EV's faster?

Maybe I missed it but why are the hauling companies and lorry drivers not going ballistic and protesting. Are they getting subsidized or some concessions on fuel.

So if someone has an oldish car that’s paid for you reckon if they buy a new ev car they’ll save money? If they lob out 35k plus 2k for the home charger that’s 37k @ this €2 a litre you are forecasting they’d buy 18500 litres of fuel, that’s a lot of driving.

That looks like zero driving as you seem to have omitted in your costings the amount for a ANY car to take the fuel. Also, is there no value in having a nice new car? Your opining and car ownership maths appears to be built purely on begrudgery.

What exactly are you trying to imply? I gave an example of basic maths to show how the op’s definition of saving money was flawed. If you read my post before putting your fingers in gear you’ll see that it’s an example using a car that is fully paid for, they do exist you know. Where the Hell did you get the begrudgery from?

The op stated that if fuel goes to €2 a litre more people will buy EV’s to save in fuel that’s what my example is based on.

I don't see how buying a new car saves me money..

We own both our cars outright. Relatively newish. It would take a lot of full tanks to make up for replacing those cars.

Many can’t see that logic.

2 Euro is highly possible, but not so much due to any deliberate policy. Fuel excise is exorbitant and the crude price internationally is rising. Reducing fuel excise will trigger the Glasraí gods, so that's not likely, though I hope I'm wrong. Greater numbers working from home for now might moderate the pain, but the rise is putting people between the proverbial rock and hard place. This country is just simply incapable of handling a sharply increased uptake in electric cars, whether in respect of charging infrastructure or the ability to generate the electricity needed. The direction the government is taking with grants suggest they are not pushing people to EVs, even if it is a good idea to reduce diesel use for private cars. Load shedding isn't too far away.

I don't think the current Type R is even available here anymore, the FK8 did launch here in 2020 starting from like 56k, the M3P at the time was only about 5k more expensive I believe.

Assuming the Type R had continued to be sold here and it kept the same price ratio Vs the M3P, that €5k would get you 2778 litres of petrol at €1.80 a litre. Taking the Type R's WLTP figure of 8.5l/100km that would give you about 32,680km of range.

In reality the price gap would have tightened between the Model 3 and the Type R as the VRT changes whould have jumped it to the 37%, adding about ~4k to the price.

My plan is to emigrate to somewhere where the government is more reasonable about taxation and where motoring costs are significantly lower and where the sort of price differential I mooted, actually exists.

In the Uk, there is a £25575 price difference, which will pay for an FK8s lifetime fuel usage, even at the current high price.

Bought an e bike a while back and use that to zip the 15km each way into the nearest town where I work. I use the car when its raining badly but even just using the e bike on the nice days has saved me a lot of cash.
