Automakers are hedging their bets on electric vehicles and stepping up their investment in hybrid cars as consumers’ growing disinterest in fully electric vehicles has forced the industry to shift gear.
A combination of high EV depreciation and concern over inadequate charging infrastructure has chilled buyers’ enthusiasm for fully electric cars, prompting a rebound in sales of hybrid vehicles that many automakers had ignored.
Volvo scrapped its target of going all electric by 2030 last week, saying it now expected to still be offering some hybrid models in its lineup at that time.

The whole problem is the battery.
They don't have a big enough charge, which makes range crap. They take too long to charge. They catch fire (don't care what a study says, you can make studies that say anything). They are too expensive. Electricity is already too expensive.
AND… If somebody can use a "kill switch" to stop your car being used, or put a GPS tracker in your car – forget it. No way.
If a company can disable features remotely, then it's a big No for me!
Beautifull logic of CCP
Cheap coal cheap fuel for EVs
Expensive CCP Elect Solar and wind for the rest of the world for EVs
Who say perpetual motion doesn't exist?
Lack of social advertisement campaign to educate a reason behind change.
New technology without testing which result in accidents of burning batteries/short distance of car/long charging/low trust in technology since it isn't reliable
Incredibly costly. Changing battery each 5 years and paying for it 30% of car worth is just too huge cost of using for average citizen. ( it would only work in system in which average Joe doesn't own a car but companies exists to rent it to everyone like public transport ) – No one wants it.
Why EV if we have alternatives like gas and other new fuels that are Toyota experimenting with?
The only logical explaination behind EV revolution would be to be less dependent on OIL and allow transport to use alternative source of energy like coal plants.
EV Cars – adaptive, can use any source of fuel ( well expect battery that demand resources that are mostly produced in China… )
Ecological reasoning is a completely failure since it doesn't reduce the damage done to enviornment.
If you want to get your moneys worth, buy a Tesla used for under $24k. Miles below 100k and pay cash. I use mine as a daily driver for 2 years zero gas cost, updates all the time at night with new things, no maintenance cost, it works for me and my family. I wouldn’t recommend a truck to everyone. Just like I wouldn’t recommend EV to everyone.
statistics are what they are but in this case i think you are misreading the BEV market.
Also, i dont know a single BEV driver that wants to go back to ICE. people are just afraid of change.
Not to mention the amount of EVs in China that are being produced directly for EV graveyards.
It doesn’t take an electrical engineer to notice that an ev based car population would increase everyone’s power bills and ruin the grid.
Probably in North America. Here in SOuth East Asia the EVs are sold like peanuts. You should thanks to your stupid government for that.
Just hit 96% EV sales here in Norway here last month based on new car sales
As an owner at one point in time of two EVs we actually traded one of them out for a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. This is because we like electric vehicles but we don't like road tripping with electric vehicles and so the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle is our road tripper.
So its just people problems all can be done in year or 2 years time but there is no motivation to do it its easier to sell oil and disel
Not sure I would want a full EV as a daily driver due to the battery depreciating over time and resell value. That being said, where I live is a car and van rental company which only does EVs, it’s a small island so it works really well since you’d have to circle the entire island 20 before your out of electric.
Current EV is a scam. The sooner people realise it, the sooner we can work to an actually proper EV future.
Am I allowed to blink?
Hard to maintain, impossible to repare. Boring, cheap and lack in beauty. The pollution argument is so dumb, that you'll better acquire a second hand petrol car than this joke of a "sustainable futur innovation" that would last 5 years max in your garage before becoming an expensive paper weight.
In Europe, the lack of personal parking and or garages, makes having an EV almost impossible for most appartement renters.
This is not a good video about EV’s (if you don’t want one don’t by one!) It’s very simple
Amazing how government mandates don't sell well when the public is given any choice. Wonder when buying EVs will become a health initiative requiring an EV passport for travel?
people have been conned, misled, taken advantage of, and worst of all, they were just trying to do the 'right' thing
You look familiar. Do you play the bass ?
I think the EV and the ICE markets are totally flatlining .
EV s resell price is gonna be fun, with a 50% battery capacity
As I said many times before, just buy a Toyota 4×4, and you'll be fine. You'll die before it does
EU is voting for 45% tax this week for Chineese EV, USA has 100% tax…..stupid burocracy is killing EV, they don't care about enviroment, only money
Tesla is dead, but BYD is selling like crazy
Only Communists wants EV,All of them are losing money
Even 200 Chinese EV makers losing $$ they only make money from government subsidies 
Basically all the great car manufacturers startet their growth with building at least one legendary generation of cars. Cars that were be affordable, good designed, reliable and THEIR OWN.
Land Rover, G Class, E38, Honda Civic, Toyota Hilux, Subaru Impreza, 911, Impala….you name it.
What legend did Tesla delivered so far? Where are the price, the emotion, the reason to by a EV? They are expensive and not to repair.
If you want to start a Revolution, do it with a legendary innovative car, not overpriced chunk. If people want Single Use iPhones, they would sell them.
ethanol and biodiesel is the future
Stupid.
Worldwide as of this writing China is on track selling well, US selling well, only Europe tepid. This for BEVs, NOT hybrids…. People love them, charging is improving, and insurance is slowly dropping. Interest rates, not demand are the issue.
How many people have you killed?
What I need is a fiesta sized, with nominal power, and with nothing but battery.
I don't want massage seats, hud, turbolaser cannon, machine vision auto driving… I just need a small car that can go long distances in the winter.
No one sells me one of those so I'm gonna be using my diesel fiesta instead.

#1 best selling car of 2023? Tesla model Y… 2024 the first time in 47 years a car surpasses the f150 in sales (in the US) and its the Toyota rav 4 and… the Tesla model Y. If you aren't looking at percentage of market you wouldn't realize that all auto sales are down with gas cars actually getting hit worse than EVs. It's so funny to watch people with half the picture try to argue their point. I don't even own an EV and I know the EV market better than some of you "professionals". There are many garbage EVs in the market killing the numbers yet EV sales are still creeping up to 9% of all vehicle sales in the US. That number continues to climb YOY.
Japanese have had hybrids for 20 years.
The only way for EV to become successful is to mandate a universal swappable battery. Performance cars will just use several units
People who wanted EVs, have EVs now. Simple as that. And in 10-20 years, they might buy new ones. But most People have living situations/use cases that do not allow EVs.
A factor no one seems to talk about is miles per gallon or kilometers per liter to distance per kilowatt. Electricity here in third world country with no nuclear power is very expensive, we use only hydro plants and coal plants. Also, 8 hours of charge? Why not make a removable battery pack, you drop your empty in the gas station and drive away with a charged one
