Re: More on EVs from a guy trying to sell them

I read an article saying a huge percentage of used gasoline-powered cars and light trucks will find their way to west coast states once EV mandates go into effect. So, buyers may still have a choice, at least for a while. However, signs are good that mandates are NOT just around the corner, or even a certainty.

I hope EVs remain an option, and not a mandate. It will be interesting to see what happens to manufacturers who actually go "all in".
