What to believe now?

EV sales have not fallen, cooled, slowed or slumped. Stop lying in headlines.

Oh wow the whole time I thought it indeed slowed down, what haha. So basically it says Electric vehicle sales continued to grow over the past year, although the increase was lower than before. In the US, EU, and China, the growth was around 10%, while other countries saw an increase exceeding 40%. But I've read many other articles saying otherwise. What to believe now?

EV sales are still growing — that part is true. But the rate of growth has slowed compared to previous years. So headlines saying “EV growth slows” and others saying “EV sales are increasing” can both be correct at the same time.
A ~10% increase in major markets like the US, EU, and China is still solid growth, just not the explosive jumps we saw earlier. Meanwhile, smaller or developing markets can show 40%+ growth simply because they’re starting from a lower base.
So what to believe? Both — just read past the headline. The real story is: EVs are still expanding, but the market is maturing and growth is normalizing.

When I owned TSLA stock, I was more interested. Today, I have two EVs, prime and backup, and don't really care if anyone else decides to go that way. I share my experience if asked but I'm not a "Karen:"

• $24,000 new, Tesla with trade-in credit for last Prius (no tax incentive)
• $15,000 used, BMW i3-REx with no tax incentive
• 1/3d the cost per mile of my last Prius, a plugin
  • free solar miles within 100 miles of home
  • ~$2.50/100 miles if I buy utility company power
  • $3 - $4/100 miles on cross country trips
• ABC - Always Be Charging means overlap biology breaks, shopping, and motels with free charging
• Tesla does the driving and I enjoy the ride
  • first segment ~3 hours and 200 miles
  • subsequent segments ~2 hours, 120-130 miles with 15 minute charging and biology breaks
• 7 years, 175,000 miles
  • failed coolant valve replaced $9k battery at 140,000 miles
