Letters to the Editor: Why are most new EVs still Teslas? Blame oil-bound carmakers (via latimesopinion )
isn’t because they are more expensive or because the company’s chief executive is an abrasive right-wing jerk. The reason that Teslas are selling well is that the company does not have a competing internal combustion engine business.
As a result, their EVs are styled strangely and they are not producing a significant number of EVs or supporting charging networks. Dealers are not selling very many of the cars.Unless the ICE companies wake up and see in there heart of hearts that the age of oil is passing, they will flounder.Here’s another reason the glut of Teslas on the road today dissuades people from buying less expensive EVs.
So, when we non-Tesla owners who cannot charge at home try to find a public station to use, odds are that many of the chargers within a fair radius of our homes are already in use by Tesla owners. Potential EV owners probably scope out the availability of charging stations before buying and see all those Teslas tying up the chargers that they would need to use. If Tesla is the dominant brand, the charging stations designed for their use need to become as plentiful as the ones designed for the rest of us EV owners.Though I understand the editorial board’s concern about Teslas being out of many drivers’ price range, I favor letting the marketplace play this one out.
