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?

    Been seeing them as well, Oil industry knows what’s coming and is leveraging everything to stall the progression of EVs. Its really too bad cause we actually do absolutely still need oil for certain essential products we dont have good alternatives for yet but fuel will no longer be one of them.

    Decent article that shows one of the few direct attacks I’ve seen so far. Most of them at least for me have been through other companies where they leverage past partnerships I assume to get them to discourage EVs
