Well, at least in the near and mid-term. Long term, the superior tech will win out, but in the long term we're all dead anyway. Just too many factors working against EV adoption in US at the moment:
- The incentives going away obviously, but also a lot of factory projects getting cancelled too.
- Gas prices are super low and will likely stay this way for a while, combined with…
- Rapidly increasing electricity prices, that will also stay this way for a while due to increasing demand and throttling of supply from renewables.
- Openly hostile federal and in many cases state level political environment. Love having to pay $300 each year for the sin of driving EVs.
Even the mass market affordable vehicles, like Chevy Equinox EV are struggling at the moment and seeing deep discounts.
I was somewhat optimistic that things would stabilize after the initial dip, but I don't see it now. The deck is too stacked against EVs in "the land of the free".
