A strong case can be made that the worst thing that ever happened to the electric vehicle industry was Joe Biden. His strongarm tactics to force Americans to buy battery-operated cars have only stiffened consumer resolve not to purchase them. EV sales had been robust before Biden entered the White House, but the boomlet stalled as conservative voters rebelled and even ridiculed EVs as “Biden cars”.
While EVs have become popular in blue states like New York and California – where more than one-third of the sales have occurred – Red Staters have turned a thumbs down to these cars of the future.
