Roadwalker, when Priuses first came out they cost $30K. Now you can get them in the low $20Ks. Economies of scale kicked in. EVs and PHEVs will come down in price with continued improvements in battery tech and with economies of scale.

On this thread and the within the GOP, they assume that batteries will never improve and that economies of scale is a silly economic concept that has no bearing in the real world. That's the problem with their thinking. It's ossified.
