Here is the quote, "Rising electricity prices in the UK have made gasoline and diesel cars cheaper to use than electric vehicles charged at rapid public chargers. While drivers who are able to charge their EVs at home are still making significant savings, public charging infrastructure is more expensive. Higher electricity prices and insufficient charging infrastructure in the UK could hinder electric vehicle adoption." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, Jay. 30 day inventory vs sales are at less than the inventory standard of 60 days inventory vs sales ratio..... EV Salesman love the numbers...no discounting in prices on the lot Pretty healthy sales increases on track for 10 percent market share of pure evs by end of year.... production ramping up, inventories to meet demand ramping up, sales ramping up no recession in the EV business Enjoy the transition, I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here is what Jeremy Robb, senior director of economic and industry insight at Cox Automotive had to say, Jay, Read carefully. Put your thinking cap on. "The bad news (for EV manufacturers): the supply of electric vehicles is significantly outstripping sales, “Sales have been rising and are clearly going up with all the new entrants in the marketplace. But sales are not going up to the same extent that inventory is going up. As we approach the end of the second quarter of this year, average inventory for electric vehicles tops more than 92,000 units on the ground at dealer lots as we look at inventory versus this time 2022. That's a whopping 342% year over year increase. During the same period, maybe the day supply increased 166% the 90 day supply, though the pace of sales while up, is not rising as fast as inventory builds,” Jeremy Robb, senior director of economic and industry insight at Cox Automotive, told reporters at a briefing."
