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?

    It’s obvious there’s a campaign by big oil companies to try and influence the market. In the U.K. every day in one of the papers there’s an article with a negative spin on EVs, could be queues at charging points, catching fire, the weight causing potholes, just nonsense stuff. There’ll be those that are gullible who will fall for it, but they’ll soon get left behind.
