And this is assuming you are in the climate change crowd and that the theory of man made climate change is true, and then for you to even give a damn for that to even matter. I don't believe the theory, and even if it was true, I don't give a dann. And both of these pools represent almost half the country. Then factor in that you give a dann and believe it so much you're willing to pay 25% more for your transportation and also accept the other headaches associated with ev and that ev is practical for you... Do you see how the pool of potential buyers keeps shrinking? You can expand it again with techno geeks but that's still only ending with a few percentage points of the population. I don't see ev dominating anytime soon.
