Maybe people are too broke to buy a car, either EV or gas.
Maybe people are uncomfortable buying new assets that might get damaged in a possible WW3.
Maybe all of the above.
It will not be long before you will be able to buy an electric car for a song—The law of supply and demand will take over. They must lower the price or send the whole lot of these new cars into the land fill. Just wait until the Depression hits. No more worthless paper money, no jobs, and your welfare will only buy you a couple of Big Mack Burgers.($250 a pop with fries). Americans will know starvation for the first time since the Civil War. There will be no more pets or stray animals as they will be eaten for food. Buffalo will become extinct as they are turned into steaks. Guards with orders to shoot to kill will be a feature of every supermarket, with floors stained by the blood of looters. You will be forced to show money to enter a market, or be turned away. A Democratic Dream, GOP Nightmare.
