This is a very positive step forward for the reduction of fossil fuels as obviously the majority of the world isn't able to afford the expensive/luxury vehicles that the EV market seems to be focusing on.

which isa good thing.

But being cheaper than a new car doesn't help you if you have to finance cars in the first place. Kinda doubt there's going to be a ton of banks willing to work with this.
