EV sales probably won't hit 50% until after 2050.

In other news the RAV 4 hybrid is the best selling hybrid

RAV4 Prime will likely do well when it releases.

Baby steps

Or as that droning john4 guy would say “know your audience “

And the best incentive to purchase a BEV is to charge reduced title+registration and forgo the subsidy that not everyone can use.

A 2011 leaf with its baby battery should pay about $25 a year all in like a moped instead of $665 for title + registration but you would never convince the state legislature that a 25 mile winter range car shouldn’t pay a $550+ premium over a gasser
