I didn’t really have much faith that his EV ideas would get past the auto makers anyway. They are so resistant to making EVs because they think people don’t want them, when the truth is that dealerships either don’t have them or won’t sell them.
Sixty-six percent of US car dealers don’t have any EVs to sell, and 45% said they wouldn’t sell them no matter what, according to a new report from Sierra Club about the EV shopping experience in the US.
The EV bottleneck is the dealers. Laws in many states don’t even allow you to buy a car unless it’s from a dealer. And unless Biden does something about that, which he probably can’t since they’ve successfully lobbied a lot of this on the state level, the bottleneck will continue.
