I wonder: how much it is genuine loss of interest, and how much of it is the result of a president who’s sending mixed messages about EVs? Sure, he had that ridiculous ad for Tesla on the White House lawn, but he also ended plans for expanding the federal charging system. Mango Mussolini loves fossil fuels, thinks climate science is bullshit, and isn’t shy about saying so.
Yeah I can’t help but think this. I’m in the UK and 5 years-ish ago I bought an ICE, I couldn’t really afford an EV at the rime, but a big part of my thinking was that I didn’t expect the conservative government to do much to support the transition.
EVs require new infrastructure, and people need to trust that’s gonna be built.
