Breaking news, folks! Electric vehicle sales are surging, and the liberal love for these cars is revving up. But hold onto your gas-guzzlers, because there’s more to this story than meets the eye.
The Alliance for Automotive Innovation just released a report that shows a whopping 378,000 electric vehicles were sold in the United States in the third quarter of 2023. That’s a shocking 10.1% of all light-duty vehicle sales! Can you believe it? It’s like a silent and deadly electric revolution, right under our noses.
But wait, there’s more! Get this – a staggering 145,000 more EV units were sold during this period compared to last year. That’s a mind-blowing 63% increase! It looks like those electric car enthusiasts are really plugging into the trend.
Now, the report tries to paint a rosy picture of the EV market, but don’t be fooled. Behind the scenes, major automakers like General Motors and Ford have been forced to cut back on building these electric wonders because, surprise, surprise, the demand just isn’t there. And who can blame the average American? Who wants to spend hours recharging their car when they could be cruising down the highway in a classic gas-powered ride?
To top it off, the report also exposes a glaring problem with the lack of public charging infrastructure. Apparently, the current number of chargers only covers a measly 12% of what’s needed to support the growing EV market. If these electric cars are going to take over, we’d need a whopping 414 chargers installed every single day for the next 7.2 years. That’s like trying to build a new lemonade stand every 10 minutes!
Sure, the liberal elite might try to convince you that EVs are the way of the future, but the truth is, while supply may be up, the demand just isn’t there. And even though the EV market has seen some short-term gains, the long-term picture is far from clear. So, hold onto your steering wheels, America, because the jury’s still out on whether electric cars will truly take over the road.
