At this point to me, Telsa is still the only manufactured EV to go with for those that don’t have employee or vendor discounts. They make most of their parts and seem to have a better grasp of all EV. The charging network that I thought Tesla only opened up 15% of to its competitors.

EV’s only make sense as a purchase if you can charge at home. Or a company that can have their fleet charge nightly to save on fuel costs and get the green gov cheese tax writeoffs.

Instead of percentages let’s see the numbers of actual sales.

Leases are the way to go right now and that keeps you out of the terrible resale value of all these EV’s. Gonna see lyriq sales up because they heavily discounting and the older established folk can afford and charge home.

Lots of unknowns still. Most all EV’s are still under warranty. Gotta see what fails outside the warranty, where to get parts and who will repair it at a reasonable cost?

It’s crazy to me all the tax $’s thrown at chargers, grid improvement to handle and chip manufacturing.
