There is this phrase in TFA: > the next wave of buyers focus on cost, infrastructure challenges, and lifestyle barriers to adopting. We can assume that new buyers are looking at the value proposition carefully: * There are few small-battery EVs available in most of North America (Fiat 500e is a California compliance car); * Large-battery EVs are expensive and require a significant charge rate beyond Level 2; * L2 charging at home is the minimally-viable requirement for saving money versus petrol; * There is no low-cost charging option for people who have no residential charging solution. If the cost of a rapid charge at a service station approaches the cost of fueling a PHEV or ICE, then PHEV or ICE may be cheaper to buy and more convenient (equally inconvenient) for refueling. Also bear in mind that the next cohort of buyers is facing a lodging crisis, sustained high cost of living, and then end of climate stability.
