The person told me from the get go that they don’t have anything against the EV, it just is not what the drivers want to use to try and get their routes done.
No spin here, just real world info.

"Dogs don't like it."
If a product is crap, consumers aren't going to buy it...as long as they have a choice.

Exactly... It's what I've said all along as well. The Consumer will determine if EV's are the next big thing. Right now they are saying, no thanks... But you hit the nail on the head... "As long as they have a choice"...
