""Nearly half of Americans - 46% - believe EVs are not worth the cost, the survey showed, with opinions again reflecting a political divide. EVs have a higher sticker price than comparable gasoline models, largely due to costly batteries.When asked to consider buying a new truck, only a minority said they would search for one that minimizes its impact on the environment. Thirty-eight percent said they would look first for an efficient truck that costs less to operate. Another 34% said they wanted a durable truck, and only about 19% said they wanted an environmentally friendly one.""

Tesla Model 3 Is Outright Bestselling Vehicle (of any kind) In UK – Plugin EVs take 17.2% Share. The UK saw plugin electric vehicles take 17.2% share of the auto market in June 2021, up from 9.5% in June 2020. The Tesla Model 3 was the UK's overall best selling vehicle (of any powertrain) in the month, with 5,468 units sold.

By the time we get to selling to the last 46% the EV cost will be lower than ICE. Then with EVs high efficiency and low operating we will sell to the 38%. By the time that segment is satisfied then EVs will have proven their durability and we will sell to the 34%. It is all a process. We convince segments of the market as we move along the growth curve. Don't need to convince them all at the beginning.

Jay, those are all dreams you are dreaming. The reality is that EVs do not excite anyone's imagination, even your own.

You are still driving an ICE, and so am I, which is the wise thing to do.

Oh of course, that explains why US BEV sales only grew by 255% last quarter. And Cox Automotive found only 30 percent of consumers either “extremely or very likely” to consider an EV for their next vehicle purchase. 

What are you going to do as EV sales just keep going up and up and up?

Here is what is really going on, Jay. You and I are driving ICE vehicles, we are smart guys. Your own figures above show that EVs are a tiny percentage of the vehicle stock and only 8.5 % of sales.

The big picture is that hundreds of billions of dollars are being invested in battery and EV production, country after country is announcing the end of ICE sales and auto maker after auto maker is announcing the end of ICE vehicle development. ICE is end of life.

Press Release from Mercedes Benz:

Mercedes-Benz prepares to go all-electric

 

• All newly launched architectures will be electric-only from 2025 onwards.
• In 2025 Mercedes-Benz will launch three electric-only architectures.
• Mercedes-Benz will be ready to go all electric at the end of the decade, where market conditions allow.
• Mercedes-Benz to install battery cell capacity of more than 200 Gigawatt hours with partners, plans for eight Gigafactories.
• New partnerships for development and production of battery cells in Europe.
• Efficiency of electric drivetrains to be enhanced through vertical integration and the acquisition of YASA, a specialist in ultra-high performance axial flux motors.
• Plug & Charge to introduce seamless charging without extra steps needed for authentication and payment. Mercedes me Charge to have more than 530,000 AC and DC charging points worldwide.
• Acceleration of electrification ramp-up marks a radical shift in capital allocation.
• Mercedes-Benz is committed to its margin targets – also in a BEV-world.

Stuttgart (Germany) – Mercedes-Benz is getting ready to go all electric by the end of the decade, where market conditions allow. Shifting from electric-first to electric-only, the world’s pre-eminent luxury car company is accelerating toward an emissions-free and software-driven future.

By 2022, Mercedes-Benz will have battery electric vehicles (BEV) in all segments the company serves. From 2025 onwards, all newly launched vehicle architectures will be electric-only and customers will be able to choose an all-electric alternative for every model the company makes. Mercedes-Benz intends to manage this accelerated transformation while sticking to its profitability targets.

“The EV shift is picking up speed - especially in the luxury segment, where Mercedes-Benz belongs. The tipping point is getting closer and we will be ready as markets switch to electric-only by the end of this decade,” said Ola Källenius, CEO of Daimler AG and Mercedes-Benz AG. “This step marks a profound reallocation of capital. By managing this faster transformation while safeguarding our profitability targets, we will ensure the enduring success of Mercedes-Benz. Thanks to our highly qualified and motivated workforce,
I am convinced that we will be successful in this exciting new era.”

To facilitate this shift, Mercedes-Benz is unveiling a comprehensive plan which includes significantly accelerating R&D. In total, investments into battery electric vehicles between 2022 and 2030 will amount to over €40 billion. Accelerating and advancing the EV portfolio plan will bring forward the tipping point for EV adoption.

US: BEV Market Nearly Doubled Through April 2021

The all-electric car segment is booming in the U.S., according to the latest report on car registration from Experian (via Automotive News).

During the first four months (January-April) of this year some 133,509 new BEVs were registered, which is 95% more than a year earlier (about 68,466).

The growth of the all-electric segment is three times higher than the overall market, which increased 36%. It allowed an expansion of BEV market share from 1.6% in 2020 to 2.3%.

The data reveals that the most popular model is the Tesla Model Y, followed by the Tesla Model 3, which however decreased slightly year-over-year:

In terms of geographical results - California accounts for 38% of all BEV registrations, which is significantly less than a year ago (45%). It's interesting because registrations in California increased 64% year-over-year. Other states probably are expanding much faster.

The second biggest market is Florida (7.2% share in BEV segment), followed by Texas (5.9%).

You and that conservative confusion.

The first sentence I wrote and the graphic clearly says "U.S."

The small EVs you are referring to are not part of my post or a part of US sales. However GM manufactures the MiniEV in China as part of a joint venture with SAIC.
