Nissan/Renault Hybrid EVs price competitive 2014

10% of the EV penetrate easily by the year 2020?

Nissan cars for the demand of the snap-in electric supply much more in the coming years, but the 2014 Nissan aims to producing at least 500,000 plug-in vehicles per year. and production should continue to grow after Nissan research suggests that 10% of the world auto consumer is ready to purchase the electricity motor cars.


Even more interesting, President and CEO Carlos Ghosn considers that 2014 at the latest, the tax incentives can be competitive without the assistance of the electric cars.


But what "competition" mean?


You don't get me wrong. I hope that Mr. Ghosn is correct.Already Mr. Ghosn is the largest, far away from the Advocate General in the auto industry and mainstream sähköistystapaa his bullishness is exciting, especially because so few other auto industry in accept.


But, a lot of fun, let's say, only some of the basic information about the numbers.


Today Nissan Leaf pays $ 32,780, but after the costs can drop $ 25,280 Federal tax credits.On the other hand, the Nissan Versa – almost the same car as minus a Powertrain Magazine – pay only $ 13,520. Thus, where the preparation of improvements and investments can help reduce the cost of $ 7500 vehicle leaf – tax refund-leaf still would cost more than $ 11,760 direction.


According to him, in the direction of the Government of the average driver spends approximately 1500 $ petrol costs per year.This is nearly 8 years on the quality of petrol and completely free of electricity before the cost of energy means of parity.


Now, this is apples to apples comparison, and they are the situations in which the numbers are more or less the price competitive.Most of the consumer studies concern the plug-in hybrid vehicles are similar, however, regarding the interest of the studies.Consumers are interested in, but they do not want to pay a lot of extra to buy a hybrid – or are likely to buy EV – and sales data on a regular basis this year proved to be a conundrum.


You may need to change the EVs is started, this might be dynamically?. it may be even higher cost reductions? perhaps.


Therefore, how much it should cost EV to come down before the extensions seem to be the price for non-Plug-more than just 3% of the buying-in at the beginning of the battery power of technologies would make significant competition? reunaehtoon 20 000 magazine it? $ 18000 Leaf? or 25 000 $-magazine is already enough 10% take root?
