    The only real issue with EVs is the Li-Ion battery. Range anxiety and very cold and very hot weather create a problem with all models that use those batteries only. Hybrids make more sense, but the market is still far less than for ICE vehicles. The charging infrastructure isn't going well in many places, either.
    Until the battery issues are solved (if ever) there won't be a big surge again with EVs , I don't think.
    I left out the one thing that would scare the hell out of me, and that is the possibility of spontaneous combustion of that battery. I have seen far too many examples of those batteries blazing up to want one parked at my house....

    First I bought an electric motorcycle and as soon as I needed service, the company is out of business and then I bought a Torqeedo electric outboard motor which has been "discontinued" and is no longer "supported". That's six grand for EV's now in a landfill. There isn't going to be a "strike three".

      I thought the lessor stipulated the value in the beginning and down payment and payments were based on the stipulated value. The lease companies are going to take the hit. Lease companies are now stipulating 6,000 miles a year in a Battery car lease, because you aren't going too many miles considering range and charging times.

    Sales of battery-powered cars should be driven by the free market, not the heavy hand of government. Authoritarian-leaning government leaders have seized upon climate radicalism as a pretext for exercising political control and deficit spending. Battery vehicles may be an alternative, but not at scale for the present.

    The reason dealerships won't sell EV's is clear. They sometimes aren't educated in them or know the features or details about the cars. They also have a massive financial incentive to sell ICE cars and not EV's. ICE cars require way more maintenance and the dealership makes a lot of their revenue from maintenance and servicing. So now what we are seeing is that dealers can't compete against the direct to consumer model. They won't sell EV's so as more people are shifting dealerships are loosing business and now closing in mass.
