I don’t know a single person who says that their next new car will be ICE, but I don’t know either a lot of people able to afford a new car. Most people over here (France) buy used except if they’re old and rich, the average age of individuals buying brand new cars is around 60 years old.
And the problem is people above 60 years old are quite difficult to convince to go electric as they have a full happy boomer life behind with ICE cars.
(Individuals are around half the sales of new cars I’d say, the rest are companies and rentals that buy new and resell after a few years, and for now they haven’t made the switch.)
But if these people don’t buy electric, there won’t be electric cars on second hand market for us normal people.
