It’s hard to know who or what to believe when it comes to the auto industry eventually going all-electric.
Lots of other media outlets, political pundits and EV detractors alike will say that EV sales have completely nose-dives, and the whole attempt at a zero-emission transition was a waste of time. Others say that EV sales are better than ever; a fact backed up with data. A recent study from J.D Power affirms the latter rather than the former—EV sales are definitely up. But interest in, and adoption of, the technology are both slower than expected.
That’s what eventually pushed me over. I was going to wait until my car needed to be replaced. When the Chevy bolt dropped thousands in price and then was being discontinued, I stopped waiting. People have to keep in mind that this is all heavily influenced by people’s car replacement schedules. Most people can’t afford to throw away years of value to buy immediately.
