I wonder what the reasoning behind this is:<p>> what’s become a pivotal EV tipping point: when 5% of new car sales are purely electric<p>5% of new car sales being EVs doesn't mean much. There will be more traction for charging infrastructure and such, but that doesn't mean that more consumers will be interested in EVs, or that economic downturn won't result in people resorting to second-hand cars which are probably going to be ICEs.<p>I'm not convinced by the arguments:<p>> New technologies — from televisions to smartwatches — follow an S-shaped adoption curve<p>> “Once enough sales occur, you kind of have a virtuous cycle,” said Corey Cantor, an EV analyst at BloombergNEF. “More EVs popping up means more people seeing them as mainstream, automakers more willing to invest in the market, and the charging infrastructure expanding on a good trajectory.”<p>Especially with a product that is already seen as political by some, and has clear drawbacks that make it unviable for many types of users.
