Also most EV owners also have a gasser auto or truck. Of the 300 million autos in USA only 1% are EVs. I only posted what he said on his news cast as I really don't give a rats*** about it one way or the other.
The fanatics about EV don't care for one little bit of negative news about EVs such as lack of charging stations, broken charge stations, poorly performing charge stations (except Tesla), etc. etc. Still 20 years away from a nation wide massive EV infrastructure. Cheers to you bubba Joe and I will view no more snarky comments thank you.
Here is an article that may be of interest. It is from 2016 but is scholarly.
It appears ev sales, in 2020, at least in Canada, were 150% more than the study predicted.
Musk predicted and achieved 1/2 million EV sales in 2020.
As to charging stations, most ev charging is done at home. Unless you are Amish--one has the potential to have a charging station.

I have read the same. Context is most of the people switching back have no at home charging. They were stuck using only public charging. Most likely I would recommend avoiding an EV unless home charging is available.

That's great! Leaves more fossil fuels for Bezos's mega yacht and bazillionaire lifestyle. This is the problem I have with this whole "ram the EV's down our throat" "new green deal" movement. Until I see them (meaning the powers that be) practicing what they preach, I'm not playing. Not to be outdone, John Kerry is probably taking his private jet as we speak to go and order a bigger yacht.

I still give credit to making an effort through his company.
Let me know when an oil company executive goes above and beyond what is required to reduce pollution.

Bezo is doing it because they are 3 times cheaper to run. Nothing altruistic about that, but it is great news.

If you think that anyone is making electric vehicles to "reduce pollution" than you have been brainwashed. It is about increasing profit. Musk saw a chance to corner a market and make cash money. It isn't about being more Green or Earth friendly... it's only about making the almighty dollar. I promise you that batteries and EV aren't nearly as Green as you may want to believe...

My comment lost it's context talking about yachts and private jets. Everyone has their own motivation.
