The American consumer always lets industries tell them what they want. It puts incumbent interests over progress or even rational market forces. Americans will become poorer as a nation as a result.
It's okay they want this. They voted for this. They don't buy EVs because they don't want them.
I mean, some people can’t buy because they can’t afford them. Average EV prices in the US are still quite high.
Exactly this. I'd love an EV, but I can't afford to buy one and can't afford the required upgrade to my hosue to charge on here.
I think a lot of people on Lemmy forget how much half of the population makes for salary. A lot of Lemmy's claim they got jobs that paid around $85K right out of college. Most of the population has never made that on any job in their life.
