The number of buyers in the U.S. considering an electric vehicle purchase in 2024 has fallen from a year ago due to a shortage of affordable cars, inadequate charging infrastructure and ignorance about EV benefits, a study by J.D. Power, opens new tab has shown.

Other factors contributing to waning EV demand in the United States include stubborn inflation, high interest rates and underwhelming growth in model availability, the study said.

    I don’t want…

    • To cost no more than $30k
    • To be huge
    • To track everything I do to sell to 3rd parties
    • To go like a race car, just be fast enough like a 4 banger

    You bring me an EV that can doe those 4 things and have the range of a gas powered car 300-400 miles and be purchasable in the United States (where I am located), and I will buy one tomorrow.

      bingo.

      I have a turbo 4cycliner that gets 40mpg. it costs me about $30 a month to fill up. it cost me 19K new 5 years ago.

      i’m looking at a new car. I want a hybrid small truck or a hybrid wagon. no such EV exists. I will probably get a Toyota Stout, since the new Tacoma seems fantastic.
