An economic model for a country's vehicle market predicts that a rapid, self-sustaining shift towards electric vehicles (EVs) will begin once they capture 30% of new car sales. The same model shows that at this 30% market share, the average total cost of owning an EV is still slightly higher than that of a comparable gasoline-powered car. Which of the following statements provides the most accurate explanation for why the market can 'tip' in favor of EVs before they become the cheaper option?

Interpreting EV Adoption Model Dynamics

Evaluating an EV Subsidy Policy

According to a common economic model of vehicle market dynamics, a widespread, self-sustaining shift towards electric vehicles (EVs) can only occur after the point where the total cost of owning an EV becomes equal to or less than the cost of owning a comparable conventional car.

Policy Implications of EV Adoption Dynamics

An economic model for a country's transition to electric vehicles (EVs) predicts a 'tipping point' for mass adoption will be reached when EVs capture 25% of the market. The model also indicates that at this 25% market share, the average total cost of owning an EV is still 5% higher than a comparable conventional vehicle. Based on the principles of this type of adoption model, which statement best analyzes the relationship between these two findings?
