As I write this, gas prices are pretty high. This is not news for most of us and certainly not good news. However, for proponents of electric vehicles, this news might raise an eyebrow but not blood pressure. The current political administration has made it clear that shifting away from EVs and back to gas-powered internal combustion engines is a priority and doing away with the $7,500 EV tax credit was the opening salvo. Tariffs have also sent automakers into a frenzy trying to adjust manufacturing strategies while lackluster consumer interest has created a priority shift away from the billions already invested in an EV future.
Do I think EVs are the savior of the automotive industry? Not necessarily. Do I think we’re ready to switch over completely? Absolutely not. I like choices and I like variety. I also think there’s room on the roads and even in the same vehicle for both types of power such as hybrids.
