You must be doing that routine of A) dumber than a stump and don't remember what Adam said or B) doing the usual make crap up routine because I don't comment much at all about the sales of EVs to others.
Like any rational high school graduate, I am smart enough to know what I want, what I can afford, and how it fits into my transportation concept. I could care less if others buy intelligiently or just do whatever it is neonazis think they do.

Adam for his part though is obviously a lower-class American with limited education, his emotions rule him, he's not the sort to be hired for rational debunking.
Yes...CSIRO shows up at the office to learn stuff because they like lower-class Americans with limited educations teaching them things they want to know about. You really think that little of your own countries scientific organizations?

Is it September? 2024? Yes, so here we are, on the cutting edge of the Great EV Transition.
‘Trying to force people’: Numbers reveal massive electric vehicle ‘flop’
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'E')Vs have been such a “commercial flop” that manufacturers are now trying to flog them by any means necessary, says Caleb Bond.
EV deliveries dropped 10 per cent in June when they made up 8.3 per cent of all new cars sold in Australia – down from 8.8 per cent at the same time last year. Last month, EV sales slumped to 5.9 per cent of the market. That was despite many manufacturers cutting prices – some by more than $20,000 – in recent months.
Hence why cheap Chinese EV company BYD last month signed a global deal with Uber to supply at least 100,000 of its vehicles at heavily discounted prices to rideshare drivers. It will start in Europe and Latin America and expand to western nations including Australia and New Zealand. Car makers are now rationing the sale of petrol vehicles in the UK because not enough people are buying EVs and if they sell too many internal combustion engine cars, they’ll be hit with heavy environmental penalties.
The boss of major British car dealer Vertu Motors, Robert Forrester, last week told The Telegraph that manufacturers were delaying the delivery of ordered cars until next year lest they exceed government-mandated quotas. No less than 22 per cent of cars sold in the UK by manufacturers must be zero-emission under the rules. The Brits are so determined not to buy electric that they’ll wait months for a petrol car rather than buy one of the cheap, abundant EVs collecting dust on showroom floors.
At what point will we just admit the whole thing is a sham?

It's a Joke isn't it. But the joke is on the fools who bought them and thought they were the future. Beta testers usually take it up the tailpipe.
I love overtaking a Tesla in my V6, they are no doubt faster but because they are always watching the battery meter they crawl around just under the speed limit. Out where I live all the locals go 20 over but not in an EV you don't. Adam knows what I mean, always watching the meter hoping you have enough to get home. Talk about Slavery verses freedom.
Endless power, for those with Balls between their legs and grey matter between their ears.
How many idiots does it take to charge an EV
See that bag over the Thot's shoulder? That's their lunch, because when you want to charge an EV you have to take a packed lunch with you
We're 17 years past the peak now and the 3rd World is going hungry and dark. We'll be next, we're well on the way in fact.

Poor Bastards...
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'N')early half of Australia’s electric vehicle (EV) owners are likely to go back to petrol or diesel cars rather than stick with battery-powered models, a new study has found. McKinsey and Co.’s 2024 Mobility Consumer Pulse report was released this week, showing the responses to more than 200 questions from over 30,000 motorists from around the globe – including Australians.
One of the firm’s questions asked EV owners how likely they would be to return to petrol and diesel-powered internal-combustion engine (ICE) vehicles for their next car. 49 per cent of Australian respondents said they’re considering a switch back to ICE, though the report didn’t detail how many of the remaining 51 per cent were on the fence or committed to EV ownership.

Hey! I didn't say it. 50% of Australian EV owners did. And what else would we expect a year after PeakEV. Hell you can't even recycle the piles of crap! Not without a complete disassembly and by God, don't disturb that timeBomb in the chassis.
