It took this long because adopting a new transport tech is slow and can take 30 years or more.
I think many are exaggerating the pace of adoption to fit narratives (both for and against)
What we end up with post credit is likely the same as what we have now
It will be 2 states with significant levels of plug ins (2-3%)
and 48 states with infinitesimally small numbers and zero growth.
How we get growth above 1% outside California I do not know
but what we have done so far hasn’t worked,
States like Wisconsin are unlikely to see 1% in 30 years unless something dramatic changes.
Even progressive folks like me aren’t buying additional BEVs due to the $665 1st year title + registration.
I’m back to my gas Honda from mostly electric,
my car plans in the future involve simplifying and nesting into obsolete tax exempt vehicles , and I’m not the only one.
On a state level I think we are moving backwards already.
