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?
There is no slowdown. It’s all made up because a few automakers are having trouble selling some mediocre, overpriced models. Actual EV sales have continued growing month after month, quarter after quarter.
The “study” claiming the cost of EVs is high is bullshit manufactured by a pro fossil fuel “think tank.”
There absolutely is. You’d be willfully ignorant to state otherwise. The money is gone.
OK, show me the data. There is arguably a slight slowdown in the rate of growth, but sales and market share are still growing basically everywhere in the world. Globally sales are up about 40% year over year, and the US they’re up about 50%. That’s darn strong growth no matter how you look at it.
Look it up yourself. It’s available everywhere.
I have. Here’s the actual sales data
