>>It's a shame EVs are not catching on

I don't know why people are saying this though - they are catching on massively.

Marketshare growth is excellent.

Car manufacturers and government regulators bet the farm on mass EV adoption.

Current EVs and EV infrastructure haven't solved the range anxiety/charging issue yet. Suburban US, where most people own a garage, is an outlier.

Waiting 10-15 years for prolific street-level infrastructure to be built out doesn't solve the fact that there are unsold EVs on dealer lots today.

Of course, there are plenty of use cases where range anxiety simply isn't relevant. Ditto why marketshare is still growing and will likely continue to grow.

Is your comment just focused on the USA? Because in China/Europe, the migration to EVs are irreversible at this point.
