The U.S Energy Information Administration published a study in 2023 looking at EV adoption rates, and maybe this chart will shock you as it did me.

We’ve now been on the “EVs are taking over mantra” or about 2 decades. So, as the EV market ‘matures’...

will the first-time owners of EVs go back for a second EV purchase? Likely not, since, once burned is enough.

And, EV purchases does not indicate how many were taken back before even one year of use. When trading in a used EV for a new car, what will the depreciation have been for that EV?

The whole story has not been told, and there are many issues that need to be brought up before any dealer tries to sell those clunkers.

Inevitable, like ever since the first electric automobiles were built, which was in the 1830s (EIGHTEEN-thirties), and after the ICE automobile has been the standard configuration for more than 120 years?

Inevitable like that?

The “transition” is making personal transportation too expensive for the average person.

The US tried that back in 1975. Remember the electric Citicar? The car lots on S. Memorial Drive in Tulsa had lots of them back then. Never saw one in operation anywhere.

Freedom comes with being able to travel at will. The Democrat/communists think we will just smile and say “Sure I’ll drive a lawn mower to work - no problem,” but we won’t. PERIOD.

Apparently, inflation is inevitable.
