Americans were never crazy about electric vehicles to begin with, certainly not in a Cabbage Patch Doll or Beanie Baby buying frenzy sort of way.
For one thing, EVs were always too expensive and too impractical for an impulse purchase, which is what Americans live for when they go nuts over some new technology. Take Playstations or iPhones.
Those are all very dear to purchase, yes, but you can still put food on the table.
The price of an entry-level Tesla a few years ago, or a Fisker was up there with your dream big ass, full size Chevy or Ford truck.
In 95% of the cases, the truck was going to win had you the cha-ching to indulge.
But as the technology advanced, EVs remained a curiosity for a lot of people, including me, even though they’d never consider buying one, either because it wouldn’t work for their lifestyle/needs or was still too expensive.
The idea…
