What?
1/5 cars sold in California last year were EVs, 6% of all vehicle sales in the US were EVs. They'll easily sell over 1 million EVs next year and every major brand has a half dozen new models coming down the line.
There's an exponential growth curve in EV sales that is going to continue as the cars become cheaper / longer range / better made.
I live in small-town Midwest, I don't know a single person who's shopping for a new car that is shopping for an ICE vehicle. Even my friends who do a lot of towing are buying EVs because the stupid FB memes about lack of towing distance don't reflect the actual usage of pulling a boat 20 miles to the ramp and they're all tired of paying $4/gallon for a daily driver that gets 15mpg.
