Why People Don’t Buy EVs

There are two concerns about Tesla’s future in America. The first is that EV sales in general will be slow, as they were in 2024. People still worry about range, number of charging stations, tire wear, and battery use in cold weather.

The second concern is that one or more of the legacy car companies will launch a car, or cars, that are very attractive to the car buying public .In the meantime, Tesla will be hard to catch.
