Hi Dave etc, Consumer Reports April 2024 shows more EVs sold 46 different types from various manufacturers, some 4 different models from one manufacturer, like Kia , Hyundai. Everywhere I go, Nova Scotia , Iceland, Colorado, EVen Roanoke Va and see many Teslas and other EVs EVerywhere. I’m in Charlotte NC right now at a Marriott parked between 4 Teslas. Anecdotally, the future for EVs looks bright to me. I was at our Power Company meeting last week and they’re monthly putting EV generic ads in their electric coop magazine since the CEO told me they’re selling less electricity due to Led lighting and EnergyStar appliances. So looking to EVs to sell more juice. Stay Charged, Mark Sent from my iPhone

To hear them tell it, EV sales are in freefall, and "serious" automakers are rushing to cancel EV projects. You can almost see them rubbing their hands. These writers and editors have been gleefully kneecapping EVs for over 3 decades. Ars Technica sets the record straight: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2024/06/ev-sales-slowdown-is-mostly-a-tesla- problem-according-to-sales-data/ or https://v.gd/GYzzM4 Tesla's US sales are down for the year. But Tesla has reportedly reduced prices in response, so let's just see about that. Volkswagen is stumbling in the US with the ID4. But Volkwagen Group is currently the #1 selling EV maker in Europe, where they offer MANY more models than just the ID4, including more affordable ones. GM is down 21% year on year. Not so coincidentally, IMO, they also no longer offer a practical, affordable EV (the Bolt) in the US. So is the sky falling? Nope. Ford EV sales are up in the US. Hyundai and Kia are up. BMW is up. Rivian, Mercedes, Toyota, all up. Read the story, and you'll have some fresh-ground grist for your next water cooler EV discussion. https://v.gd/GYzzM4 David Roden, EVDL moderator & general lackey To reach me, don't reply to this message; I won't get it.
