Wasn’t 2022 when car production was severely limited by a supply problem? How could they not have higher car sales than in 2022?
You know who increased market share in the US in 2023, despite all those increases in gas car sales? Tesla. It surpassed the entire VW group in US sales for 2023 and did this with a handful of fully electric models, all price above $40K.
Imagine if mass produced Tesla-quality BEVs priced below $30K were introduced into the US market…
I bet they will have to drive farther to find one.
