Ecocharger + 1,474 DL June 15 (edited) The reality is that personal sales in Britain of EVs have fallen 7%in just one month. This shows the disaster which happens to EV sales when the government removes buyer incentives, the personal sector has already been removed and the results are obvious, disaster. This coming year, the remaining supports will be removed for fleet and salary sacrifice EV sales, and the same disaster will happen to them. https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/The-Car-Industry-Misjudges-Consumer-Demand-for-Electric-Vehicles.html Here is the truth, there is no factual base supporting the view that fleet sales are booming, because the data for fleets and salary sacrifice does not exist. "It is impossible to tell the significance of salary sacrifice in the overall data as neither the relevant government bodies, the DVLA and HMRC, nor scheme operators, track the data." "In a statement, SMMT chief executive Mike Hawes told City A.M. “Salary sacrifice registrations are not listed separately as there is currently no official way to measure them as neither HMRC, DVLA or scheme operators provide this data.” In other words, this data is not even collected, so there is no way of knowing if fleet/salary sacrifice EV sales are increasing or decreasing. Only empty hot air claims that we know this data. And trying to muddy the picture by dragging in year-old numbers will not fool anyone.

Americans are big car people overall. I think pickups are somewhat of a macho male thing, but I do love my big van because people can't steal my stuff on long trips with lots of belongings or to carry passengers. I live in an agricultural area but I think most farmers use an old truck on the farm and drive around in a newer truck and write it off as a farm expense. Maybe someone could correct me on that. The little SUV's allow people to avoid the minivan driver stigma but I stick with the Dodge Chrysler minivans because they are the only company that has lay flat seats all the way behind the two front seats. My Nissan van is bigger than about any van aside from the extra long Mercedes. My little three banger Mitsubishi will not be beat price wise until a company starts selling Chinese cars nationwide, or close too it. Maybe another Domestic or foreign brand would like to sell Mexican assembled Chinese cars under their own nameplate. I like a free market. I remember when people had very few pairs of shoes because they were made in New England and cost far more. There was very little competition for many products. Competition benefits the consumer. My main concern is that we do not deal with other countries that do not share our values in the way they treat their own population or other countries. That needs to be understood by China. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think pickups are somewhat of a macho male thing, but I do love my big van because people can't steal my stuff on long trips with lots of belongings or to carry passengers. I live in an agricultural area but I think most farmers use an old truck on the farm and drive around in a newer truck and write it off as a farm expense. Maybe someone could correct me on that. The little SUV's allow people to avoid the minivan driver stigma but I stick with the Dodge Chrysler minivans because they are the only company that has lay flat seats all the way behind the two front seats. My Nissan van is bigger than about any van aside from the extra long Mercedes. My little three banger Mitsubishi will not be beat price wise until a company starts selling Chinese cars nationwide, or close too it. Maybe another Domestic or foreign brand would like to sell Mexican assembled Chinese cars under their own nameplate. I like a free market. I remember when people had very few pairs of shoes because they were made in New England and cost far more. There was very little competition for many products. Competition benefits the consumer.

My bet is one of the big three will lockup with BYD in the US........one way to take over a market (or keep what you have), buy into your competition and joint venture.......as I do not see any of the Big 3 competing on the low end EVs without partnering with made in Mexico and China battery tech and the other quasi US domestic makers (VW, Toyota etc)...........the market is wide open for a No tariff Made (assembled) in the USA EV. The Quasi automakers all will have to find a path forward.....as you can bet EVs in the US will get much cheaper...just who will conquer the low end market (Tesla......hmmmmm overpriced) with battery prices crashing and batteries getting better the result is cheaper EVs be it mini cars, sedans , SUVs or light pickups hard to stop innovation/tech advancements no matter how hard a country tries to block market access as for China......their one party way......will it sure is not working in the real estate business these days nor in stemming the decline in population...China needs to have an open border policy with all the poor countries of the world otherwise it is doomed to be a retirement state.......Lots of people in dire poverty around the globe and lots of new empty apartments in China........somebody has to assemble all of the China Trinkets ,cheap EVs and install the billions upon billiions of solar panels (Ex top pay coal miners do not make good assembly line workers....pay sucks) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
