    I don’t think people trust used EVs yet. The battery replacement is a scary looming question with them.

    And if a car has an electric version and an ICE version, the electric version is much more expensive. And that’s what a lot of people are seeing and noping out of. Especially when they’re looking at car prices in general and feeling like they’re being ripped off.

      Absolutely. Not enough people know people who have experience with EVs. Toyota and Honda built their reputation over decades.And for most people, it really doesn’t make a lot of sense to get an EV if they just see it as transportation.
