Wait for another year. Sales of EVs WILL beat those of legacy petrol and diesel in more and more countries as they have done in China last year. Do you know that shares of Stellantis have dropped from $28 to $12 in less than a year? VW and Toyota don't do much better. EVs will continue to be better and better, petrol and diesel will still be stuck at present level of development for the foreseeable future.
People will buy more EVs.
I heard a programme about this on the radio this morning.
Not about electric cars, but about people who are insanely optimistic and convince themselves that things they want to be true, ARE true. The speaker described it as a delusional state that was deliberately entered into by those who were victims of it, who should have known better, and would have, if only they had looked at the evidence.
China is NOT the same as Europe and America. In China, you do what you are told or you will be carted off and shot in the back of the head, before your organs are removed. They buy what they are told to and like it. America and Europe? Not so much. People choose what they want and buy it and if they don't want it, they don't get it. If you opened your eyes, you would see the data from the west. It is nothing like that in China.
UK CAR Registrations in 2024;
Petrol 1,018,128 cars.
Diesel 123,104
Battery Electric 391,970
Plug in Hybrid 167,178
Hybrid Electric 261,398
Electric only cars are 31% of the market. I am sure that people will love them for going about in town on short trips as long as they have off street parking and can charge them at home. If not - they are hopeless. Sixty percent of urban homes have no off street parking so they can not charge at home and are at the mercy of sharks running charging stations, hours of hanging about waiting and absolute impracticability by comparison to traditional cars.
