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?

    The slowdown is a fact. Part of it is driven by the money being gone after 3 years of rampant inflation. But another part is 100% people not buying in. A portion of new EVs sold are sold to existing EV owners. New people simply aren’t lined up.
