I am seeing a lot of negative articles on EV’s lately. They are using the slowdown in EV sales as a result of people abandoning EV’s. Yet I believe the slowdown is from high interest rates, inflation on everything, and people don’t have as much money right now because of inflation.
I just seen an article saying the true cost of running an EV is the equivalent of $17.33 a gallon, based on infrastructure, charging equipment, subsidies, etc. This kind of talk makes me sick, feels like some are pushing against EV’s in a big way, twisting the truth.
Coming from true EV owners what do you all think of this?
Yeah ignorance, and maybe the fact that EV’s don’t work for people without home charging, don’t qualify for tax breaks, or have too rely on one vehicle to meet 100% of their households needs.
The demographics data is very clear - your average EV buyer has a six figure income, owns a single family home, and has two or more vehicles in the driveway. What proportion of the population is that?
Probably a large proportion of the actual people who buy new cars.
70% of new car buyers earn less than 100k
70% of new car buyers are spending more than half their income on a car? That doesn’t seem right.
