Yeah fair, it’s mostly useless in my state, but very prevalent in other states I just forget it exists. But also swapping a stove, water heater, and AC is still a lot cheaper than a new car. (I mean the AC is the only one that’s even close) are there other things people use gas for I’m forgetting?
Heating. Swapping which is far above the price of a used car.
Edit: i realize now you said water heater, but switching off gas generally involves swapping the entire heatinf system, the costs of which are usually 5 digit for a single family home.
Fair, most buying an EV I assumed are new and not used so I was looking at like 30-60k (in America) for car vs like 10-20k for new AC/water heater/stove+new wiring (more expensive than the stove or water heater themselves.) but it’s a lot more comparable when looking at used (still like 10-20k). Also realize availability and pricing for cars is likely better outside the US.
Also I realize I’m in hot world where AC=heating and cooling and in not-hot world heating and AC might not be interchangeable but I can’t imagine heating costs much more than an AC unit?
Much of Europe uses gas for heating their houses. Much of industry uses vast amounts of gas for heating all sorts of materials from asphalt to bread.
