“. . . are also seeing fast-growing full electric vehicle (BEV) sales,

So all those stories about EV’s piling up on dealer lots are just so much horse-pucky?

People buy them out of curiosity and as a 2nd car. Most say Never Again. That’s why Domestic sales have tanked. People also don’t want to add $5k chargers to their house just to watch their garage catch fire.

Interesting charts.

Where’s the one showing Ford has lost 6 Billion Dollars due to EV sales?

Some of the numbers are misleading. For instance, Toyota’s 748% increase had more to do with last year’s offering being underwhelming, and Toyota certainly not pushing them.

It’s a landslide! Still a firm NO! I wonder what, or if, there is any kind of ratio for EV saviours and CONvid vax recipients. Saving the erf ain’t easy.

All of my cars have batteries and have things that run on electricity.

It looks like Tesla is way out selling all others. The others are losing billions.
Now wait a few years and see if the owners of electric vehicles still are driving them or dump them as my cousin did. He has a BMW hybrid now that cost more then his parents home did. He still does not get it but I am betting he will buy a gas car.

“Right now there are about 286 MILLION vehicles on the road. Being replenished by about 14.9 million new car/truck sales per year”

Call us when your crack 1 million in new sales

Sales of the Ford F-150 averaged 900,000 units per year... That is one type of gas guzzling truck selling more units than all of the electric cars that are sold.

So well sales are 'increasing'... Come back and see me when you have one type of Tesla vehicle that sells 900,000 units per year... Pardon me if I don't hold my breath.

Rarely see evs in the passing lane. Chews up too much range. Faster an ev goes the less efficient it is. Not so for ice vehicles. Sweet spot for an ice is highway speeds. Ev is better at stop and go city traffic 30 or 40 mph.

When Trump gets back in office and oil drops again to sub 50 per brl, ev adopters will be really sore, especially when thay try to sell a used ev. Good luck to them.

Wow THAT’S it I’m selling everything I have to buy an electric car because they sold a few last year.
Go away with this stupid crap.
The EV is a plot to restrict our freedom to move and 2has zero chance of getting off the ground.
Aren’t these the same people that told us the American electric grid was so old and outdated THEY might have to command us to shut off our air conditioners?

Percentage growth in a low-volume market doesn’t mean too much by itself. Would be interesting to see sales figures vs. ICE vehicles.

Not enough resources, another scam to impoverish lemmings. Suggested Reading: Professor Simon Michaux’s works on the resources required to “go green”.

Silicon 5.9 years to produce enough
Lithium 9,920.7 years to produce enough
Copper 189.1 years to produce enough

Not seeing it while anyone alive now is still breathing.
Reality refuses to budge.

I’d go without a car rather than have to buy an electric car. It is an invention so inferior only a professor or a political could think it was a good idea . For our enemies it must be part of their plan.
