FYI, EV news from outside of the echo chamber....

Asked about their preference between internal combustion engine vehicles, hybrids, and EVs with the same price tags, 42% picked gas-powered cars—up from 38% last year.
At the same time, interest in EVs fell from 21% in 2024 to 16% in 2025. Similar to last year, about one-third of respondents selected hybrids as their preference.
Lenny LaRocca, US auto sector leader for KPMG, told Tech Brew the responses suggest that the hype around EVs is cooling down.
“I think reality is setting in at this point,” he said.
“Consumers are feeling more comfortable with gas engine vehicles. The EV charging infrastructure is still a big concern, range is still a big concern.”
