Apparently understand it better than you. If you think people don't care about cost of ownership before making purchases.
Apparently you think you understand it better. An EV is usually way cheaper than a gas car. Yet why aren't EV's the main cars out there? So I guess it's not the fact that it's cheaper is the reason to buy an EV. Because if it was, then there would be way more EV's on the road than gas cars. Besides the price of the car, the cost of ownership before making a purchase isn't that important to people.
So your statement "If owning electric is cheaper than gas are you telling me people will still buy gas?", the answer is yes, they still and have been buying gas cars even though EV"s are cheaper.
I've talked to over a dozen Tesla owners and not 1 bought an EV cause of gas or the environment. I've talked to 2 Prius owners and none bought it due to gas prices because neither drive that often.
As for me, I spend about $60 a month on gas. So if I were to get an EV, the gas price wouldn't be a driving factor. I even know a guy who spends $800 a month on gas and I mentioned EV's to him and he said no.
