Sat there and read it. Still don't get the point of the article. To keep beating the dead horse over slowing EV plans? lol The article starts talking about a couple who bought an EV with gas pricing into consideration and then points to what happened last year for why sales won't increase in this one? EV searches won't translate to sales? Is that the point?
Unless you're a Canadian.
Agreed. Nothing about this transition to electrification is going to be easy...especially the global will power from our leaders to do it, because it needs to be initiated from the Top. But, as others have stated, humanity has the technology TODAY to drastically decarbonize anthropogenic activity. Light duty vehicles are certainly easier than Planes, Cargo Ships or diesel electric Locomotives (transportation).
Makes almost no difference if you are using solar, wind, or hydropower for the electrons.
This is correct.
If I wasn't 6' 3" with a 37" inseam, some of those more efficient cars would be an option for me to travel long distance in. We have a 2016 Leaf and 2025 Ioniq 5 that get the bulk of the around town miles and solar which also powers all of the lawn equipment (gas equipment is way more polluting than ICE cars). I am chipping away at becoming fully clean energy electricified. The next to go is a gas heater and standard AC for a combined heat pump. I just want to be able to capture all of that waste heat to create hot water but I am struggling to find a company that will install that type of system.
Fully agree with R1S being oversized and inefficient. The only plus over my 21 Audi Etron is range with Max Performance. I will probable be trading for 5 pax R2 or Lucid Gravity just to buy US.
Used EV sales here in the States are way up too.
I believe the mentality of profit above all else is what holds back multifamily charging. Even basic utilities are now charged as an extra fee with a layer of profit on top. Or the case of a small minority might get a benefit that others pay for. There is no more community for the common good anymore.
Hmm, wonder how that might impact the high depreciation EVs typically suffer.
Interesting. CNN is owned by Warner Bros Discovery, who are influenced by big oil, just like the majority of other media outlets and automakers. Just look at how many car commercials there are on regular TV/cable. It’s all drug ads and car commercials. These are the industries that control the media due to their outsized investment in advertising dollars. This is even before these oil-producing countries have started to blatantly buy control of our media. This is some 1984/Idiocracy shit here.
