Try logic No, sorry, both EV sales and ICE sales are down together, which indicates that this is not just a realignment of the market but a total market decline, indicative of a general economic recession. However, EV sales have been hammered much more severely than ICEs, so that shows how the EV experiment was dependent upon temporary government supports, which have now come off. The EV experiment was fun, but brief. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
