How costly is the initial cost of an EV in Europe?
In India, it's almost double the price for a petrol or diesel car. If we include every cost here, an EV requires at least 8 years of running if we drive 50 kms daily. Overall, EVs aren't as good a deal as Petrol and Diesel cars are.

I think it's nearly the same here. In 10 years we'll be so down that this whole affair will disappear

So down for EVs or petrol and diesel cars? I think petrol and diesel cars aren't going anywhere but electric cars will also be there for people who commute more on a daily basis.

I hope that Europe turns to free markets during its economic and political bust. A bit like Argentina. This way we would walk a path of technologicical openness and the market would decide on our mobility

I hope you are right and also that we achieve hyperbitcoinization by then. Let's switch from a system based in proof-of-BS to a system based in proof-of-work.
