Interesting news article: production exceeds demand for EV in US

Depends on which generation we are talking about?

My younger family members in their 30s or younger I notice more than a little anxiety around their phone dying, and that seems to carry forward into the prospect of having an EV.

Also some other factors which can’t be overlooked: home affordability became even more challenging with rising rates; can’t install a charger at a rental property. Laid off from Faang/Fortune 500 and took a job with fewer perks like charging at work. Early adopters had naturally 0 awareness of downsides like cold weather performance and word of mouth reviews IRL or online can scare prospective buyers off.

Normally the younger someone is, the more likely they’ll want to be on the cutting edge of technology but there are a lot of headwinds against what should be EV’s best demographic.
