Did I miss any?
Who cares?
The battery thing may have peaked. Manufacturers are leasing underused
parking lots and airports to store unsold cars.
Manufacturers are always optimistic.A decline in the rate of growth of the market might precede an actual decline in numbers sold, but probably won't.
The bottom line is that electric cars offer more miles per joule than carbon-burning competition, so they are cheaper to run.
John Larkin is a gullible sucker for climate change denial propaganda, funded by the people who are trying to sell carbon as fuel, so he's unconscious of the other motivation that moves people over to electric cars.
