Market for electric vehicles has experienced a setback
1706 sats \ 60 comments \ @GhostofTruth 18 Apr 2024 econ
Anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of mathematics and physics knows that the electrification of global mobility fleets is an impossibility. It is a political issue, part of the WEF agenda and therefore an attack on individual freedom when it comes to mobility and the automobile. Current figures show that demand for electric vehicles is plummeting. We will see where this trend leads.

We have a collapse of new EVs in Germany for example. By 99% they need to drop the combustion engine prohibition sooner than later

I can’t speak for every country individually, but Europe is expected to see another 23.5% gain in battery EV sales in 2024
For 2024, EV Volumes expects European EV deliveries to grow by 18% year on year. This equates to 3.7 million new models. This is despite the anticipated lacklustre growth of the wider light-vehicle market. EVs will account for around a quarter of all light-vehicle sales. The growth will be predominantly driven by BEVs, volumes of which are forecast to grow by 23.5% this year. The all-electric technology will dominate the EV market, accounting for 72% of registrations, with plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) making up the remaining 28%.

I imagine that at least due to immature charging infrastructure, there's a natural limit to demand for electric vehicles.

That's another problem. And the transition will die on its way as it's planned by central planners. Hybrid cars seem to be a winning strategy as a growing niche so far

hybrid cars are like the sliding phones with physical keyboards.
they are growing slower than battery EVs, and will be obsolete in a decade.

We'll have to watch it. The germans as the biggest facturers over here seem to shift towards them, at least.

all the gas car manufacturers are shifting, the ones with vision and competence are making the full shift to EVs.
the followers who cannot innovate are taking half measures to appease gas companies.

Diesel is still an economic source of energy. Central planners can't change economics.

It's clearly a big fight now behind the scenes on EU level

Try to find the raw materials to maintain the existing fleet. They don't exist. That's why they promote 15 min cities and public transport services

what raw materials are you referring to?
if they “don’t exist”, why have EVs set new sales records globally for each of the last 10 years?

They started by zero and the growth number doesn't make any sense as long as it is a niche

15.8% of new light vehicles sold globally are already electric, this number will grow in 2024
you also didn’t tell me which necessary raw materials do not exist

the economic research institute IW Cologne regularly screens raw material shortages, especially for electric cars. Cobalt is an immense scarcity factor here. Www.iwkoeln.de

There seems to be growing demand in Australia. I see Tesla's everywhere

I don't actually see it happening for a long term. The EV demand may get hit temporarily but overall it will rise. Please check the figures for last and next few months.
In my country, it's increasing expotentially.

If they made more affordable electric cars it would probably get popular but right now it’s almost a luxury to have electric

Quite a few of my fellow local Bitcoiners drive BEVs. I drove Nissan Leafs as a city car for almost 10 years and now a Tesla Model 3. Fantastic car, and the charging network makes for stress free long trips. I don’t get the hate.
