minus-squareR00botlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up18·1 年前How many EVs will it take for fuel prices to start decreasing? Or do prices only react to increased demand 🙃
minus-squareworkerONE@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up51·1 年前They’ll lower production to introduce artificial scarcity.
minus-squareVirtualOdour@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up29·1 年前Which is amazing news for the planet, they’re greedy though so they’ll probably try and keep it cheap enough to keep people using and maximize profit. It’s going to be interesting when a large enough portion of cars on the road are electric that gas stations start to lose enough business to thin out.
minus-squarekent_eh@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·1 年前 They’ll lower production to introduce artificial scarcity. Just like they have done many times in the past.
minus-squaregorgori@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·1 年前That’s why we need to hit peak oil fast. It will be a definitive fuck you to oil.
minus-squarephilpo@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 年前Oil is not produced at maximum rate since the 70ies - which is good. (OPEC) We technically could produce much more and cheaper - but not for long.
