    EVs piling up on dealer lots is technically correct but conveniently misleading. Tesla, who still sells roughly 50% of EVs in the US, and who have the most compelling value in the EV space due to their pricing, range, and charging infrastructure, doesn’t have dealerships. There is still plenty of EV demand, just not for shitty EVs and especially shitty EVs that dealerships put markups on.

    I won’t argue the merit of hybrids with you (they are great), but the “EVs piling up on dealer lots = no demand” trope is logically incorrect.

      As consumers become more informed and the true lifetime costs of BEVs becomes more known, more and more people will choose to go with HEVs for their preference and vehicles of choice.

      BEV mania was a wrong turn for humanity. People didn’t do due diligence.

      Internal Combustion lifted mankind from poverty and isolation. It doesn’t deserve to be shamed by any combination of plug fetishists or rare earth mineral gluttons or 3rd world plunderers or toxic battery waste producing miscreants or greedy charlatans.

      With Hybrid tech, IC has gotten way way better. Now about those coal plants…
