We’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas!
Meanwhile, my Hybrid Maverick is backordered so long, they’re asking people to switch to the gas only engine. But hey, this stuff doesn’t sell.
Here’s an idea, instead of only selling $80k+ EVs, sell some $25k ones.
Travelling long distance isn’t as often as an occurrence as people think it is, the vast majority of people will use it for commuting 95% of the time or more. Having to stop once or twice per 10 hour road trip is something almost everyone already does, it’s not that big of a change tbh
Cars with ranges far longer than the average commute have been around for years
You don’t need to drop any money on an electrician, if you have a dryer plug you can charge right off of that. If you don’t you can use a 110v plug, though that’s sinfully slow tbf
The major issues facing EV adoption are people not owning / renting homes capable of easy charging, higher buy-in cost, and misinformation on range and charging
It doesn’t need to be a common occurrence. It is the second most expensive item you are likely to own. It shouldn’t have huge limitations.
Could you imagine something like a hurricane evacuation if everyone owned only electric cars?
Hopefully we will see a lot of households owning at least one as their round town daily driver, but I doubt we’ll ever get past 50% take up with current tech.
