If this is the basis for your position then please provide a source. And why you think it is more than a temporary phenomenon.
Also note the energy costs per mile are more like
30 times more expensive for gas (in 2007 terms) as I mentioned in a later post. 2.8 was just the btu for btu * average cost for electric vs gas. When you factor in the inefficiencies of the gas engine the cost per mile go much higher.
So maybe "cost" isn't the right term for the comparison you want to make. Sales? maybe, but that has as more to do with marketing and the state of the economy than anything else, and the good margin vehicles get the marketing dollars. And the good margin vehicles are the ones they already know how to make. No conspiracy, just business.
But lets keep our terms straight.
Cost per mile there is no comparison with EV,
Sales there is no comparison with Gas. They are not the same thing however, and nothing is written in stone.
