I think the current batch of EV owners are more likely to care for their batteries obsessively. If/when EV’s become more widespread, I imagine there will be more owners who don’t want to spend time pondering battery care.
The RoRos could be an interesting Econ case study. Returning demand following years of downward pressure, very reduced supply after the pandemic, not a ton of available money….
It’s certainly not good news for the Korean carmakers.

Oh, the automakers are probably fine right, it’s the shipping companies that are gonna hurt
With the exception of Nissan, I agree.
But I don’t know just how much RoRo supply was constrained to deal with reduced demand w/ the pandemic.
Has the demand for new cars now exceeded that capacity reduction?
I don’t know. The automakers who don’t need RoRo to meet demand aren’t selling all that they can produce.
Like I said, this could make for an interesting case study for a college Econ class.
