EVs aren’t as popular or as effective as gas vehicles.
Marching under the banner of zero emissions, the Biden administration has embarked on a great crusade. At breakneck speed, it aims to bring about a massive transition: forcing the American people — and U.S. automakers — to abandon gas- and diesel-powered cars and trucks and to switch to all-electric vehicles (EVs).
EVs set a new record in the first quarter of this year. They accounted for a much-ballyhooed 7 percent of U.S. passenger car and pickup sales. Almost half of those vehicles went to consumers with an average annual income of more than $150,000, who said they were eager to jump on the environmental bandwagon. The average income of people who purchased vehicles with internal combustion engines was not even half as much. But they did account for 93 percent of the market.
