It seems clear as a bell that EV'S are not ready for the general public.

Correction, the American public is not ready for EV's.

That’s because unlike these inhabitants of other countries we as a whole don’t want to overpay for transportation which falls woefully short of our current options.

All one has to do is read the links to articles in the last 2 pages to see where the EU is backing waaaaay off on the EV as we in the US are. You don't have to show everyone how stupid you are.

You mean the rate of EV adoption is not accelerating as it did last year - right?

"Sales Figures Speak Volumes
In March, sales of hybrid vehicles in Europe increased by nearly 13%, raising their market share from 24.4% to 29%.

Concurrently, electric vehicles saw a 5% decrease in the number of new registrations compared to the previous year, according to figures from the industry association Acea.

"This trend is unmistakable and reflects a broader movement towards hybrid technology across the continent," comments an analyst from Acea."


A 5% decrease in sales - wow someone should tell china that the sky is falling....

Ok - I should not have said that.

But you have been a rude little prick, haven't you?

On a per capita basis the leaders in EV owership are:

1. Norway - 117 per 1,000 people
2. Iceland - 69
3. Sweden - 29
4. Califoirnia - 27
5. Netherlands - 21

:-k

But by far the Chinese buy the most EVs.



So people in China and Norway "want to overpay" ???
"woefully short"?? 😂

America considers whether or not to give the future automobile market to the Chinese.

Chinese car maker BYD introduces a $12,000 car - and it is nicer and scarier than you think.

US government moves to keep the new high tech out with tariffs - a stop gap move:

Once in production EVs should be far cheaper than ICE cars. But companies like Ford show us how legacy companies don't know how and are locked into doing it the old way, with the old vendors and the old tech. So they lose money.

BYD is subsidised by the Chinese government - which is wise. But Americans would cry a river about us doing that.

American's strategy is to hope the new tech just goes away. And push the idea that it is not real, doesn't work and is "bad".
"You know that them EV's kill Bald Eagles - right?"

But, the world will be getting cars that cost half as much to buy, own and operate. And Americans will deny it until their only move left is to call for a war on China.

"America - F*ck Yeah!"
