According to a new survey by Ernst & Young, 48% of new car buyers say they plan to get a hybrid, plug-in hybrid, or full EV—but an unexpected adoption barrier has emerged.
And the other half will “roll smoke to own the libs”, thus maintaining balance.
While EVs are fantastic, and a needed step in the right direction. Having a good public transit system, and walkable/bikable cities and towns will do far more to help the environment.
Id love to have an EV, but I live in an apartment. And management has no intention of spending the money on adding chargers. Even if they added a few, people would just park there with their gas cars. Haven’t seen a car towed here in 2.5 years of living here.
I hope these issues can be addressed. Until then, EV ownership doesnt make sense for a huge portion of the US population.
I just don’t want to have a car, but alas this is America…
tl;dr: the “””unexpected””” adoption barrier are publicly available charge stations.
