    Affordable cars are quickly becoming a thing of the past.

    I’m afraid that’s not true. As in, literally, I’m scared that that’s not true. BEVs are only getting cheaper over time, as they’ve only recently been mass-produced at anything approaching the absurd scale of ICE car production, and because li-ion/sodium-ion batteries basically didn’t exist before the 90s and were 100x more expensive 20 years ago.

    Once everyone switches to electric, that will only further encourage car-centric development.
