One is the fact that a lot of new EV products that have been rolled out over the years were just not easy to sell.
The charging network situation was a total mess, and you could buy a gas car where you don't have any of those problems or concerns for considerably cheaper.
Even today, the average new EV is $7,000 more than the average new combustion vehicle.
Americans just wanna buy the best tool for the job for the best amount of money.
They would actually be fine with less convenience and more money to have a vehicle that isn't contributing to greenhouse gas emissions or had better technology or whatever.
The early adopters have all but been exhausted, right? Most of them are on their second or third EV by now.
So that leaves dealers in a really tough spot because They only have a certain number of parking spaces, a certain amount of room on their floor plan, and they're in the business to make money.
And if they're getting saddled with product that nobody wants and feel like the federal government is shoving it down their throats, of course, they're going to be up in arms about it.
There's how much more do you pay? And it's how much longer do they take to sell? So on new cars today, it's a $7,000 premium.
And the days to sell on new, if I remember correctly, it's like a seven day difference.
I can't remember the exact number from the Cox report, but it was like 70 versus 77 days on new car supply right now.
