No, electric vehicle sales aren’t dropping. Here’s what’s really going on::Tesla has been slashing prices. Ford just cut the price of its Mustang Mach-E, too, plus it cut back production of its electric pickup. And General Motors is thinking about bringing back plug-in hybrids, arguably a step back from EVs.
This is the kind of thing the makes me call BS when someone tries to use this excuse for the US. 7 charging stations for Melbourne? Wow.
I’m sure it depends on where you are, but my one road trip was to a small town in New Hampshire, not near any major city. The Tesla Supercharger station must have had at least a dozen spots and there were two other large charging stations. I’m reasonably sure most of the US population already has more chargers than they believe, and the rural areas that don’t are already a niche
