I think its an experience thing, apparently >90% of EV owners say they will replace with another EV, as they become more popular more people are realising particularly the chinese examples are actually capable and good value and having a full tank every morning 1/10th normal cost is a win too.

I can easily see it being 80-90% electric here within 10 years, as it stands it feels like half the cars you see are EVs, the numbers say less than 50% of new sales are ICE.
It may be like that in the UK and other parts of the world but in the United States the new EV market is about 10% of total car sales.

America simply isn’t interested and the infrastructure to accommodate 80% EV is NOT here.
