…acting like we invented the automobile and then 3 days later decided that we needed the interstate and thousands of gas stations.
The fact is that EVs will most likely be the way of the future. Car manufacturers aren’t going to relent just because of the families that need to drive halfway across the US once a year and buy a car every 15 years.
It is still a shortfall though, so it’s totally fine to say that it isn’t suited to your personal driving needs. But it’ll get there, and it’s moving a lot faster than people think
But thats the thing, once automobiles provided the convenience, they became more and more popular and replaced horse and buggy more and more - and the same thing applies to EVs - once they provide the convenience, then they'll become more popular and start replacing ICEs more and more - but we're still a ways off.
The month-to-month numbers belie that. In U.S. EV tanked because Mr. Trump didn't want it.
