The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

Comparison of the effect of no purchase subsidy / €3,000 / €6,000 on different cost scenarios for a 5-year term for vehicles in different price categories. The median for the cheapest category only results in savings with the higher bonus. In other segments, the lower bonus is also effective. In the most expensive segment, almost no bonus is needed.

Price difference between EVs and combustion engine models, linear trend line approaches zero at around 65,000 euros.

Interestingly, a purchase subsidy of €3,000 does not yet have a sufficient effect on vehicles priced below €40,000. The more expensive the vehicle, the smaller the cost difference between petrol/diesel and EV.

A "savings" option could therefore be to use the higher amount with a price cap.

President Trump, "The name of the King at the time was William the Conqueror"

"I said that's the coolest name I ever heard. And he built this massive castle. He was known for winning wars"

"In fact I asked King Charles: why don't we call you Charles the Conqueror?"

"He said: no, I don't think so"

Pathetic
