Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

There aren’t enough affordable bevs
The US is one of the richest countries in the world, but the market share of bevs is lower then global average. Money is clearly not the problem.
Being the richest country doesn't mean much when the wealth distribution is so top heavy. There are no inexpensive EVs here. The cheapest ones cost roughly half the median income.
The cheapest EVs are still cost over a years worth of median salary in China. Even in the US cheap EVs are cheaper then the average car sold.
That is besides the US still having a lot of rich people.
What's the median car sold? Because those rich people with garages full of McLarens and astin martins are pulling up that average.
