New gas stations everywhere
If we are heading to an all electric future why is it everywhere I go I see new gas stations being built? Some are huge with rows and rows of gas pumps. Don't seem to see any charging stations being ...

Who is he trying to convince. 😂.
Well Mr. many business news and auto news (recent) articles speak for themselves for those that can read plain English. 1/3 of cadillace dealers will not accept EVs or they will shut down if forced to. Evidently EV folks don't ever read auto news, Bloomberg, WSJ, Barrons, etc., etc. Shoot the messenger never changes anything sport. I could care less about convincing anyone but there are two sides to every issue. Most EV owners have a reliable ICE vehicle for important functions such as long distance trips but never admit it on social forums. Hypocrites.
The 3 major auto makers have drastically scaled back EV truck production due to lack of consumer demand. Just the news. Trying to force high priced EVs down the throats of consumers with mandates is not working I am happy to say. Many millions of Americans live in condos and apartments without charging stations so no home charging for the poor souls.
MastEvac71, lol, well written.
Some just don't like facts getting in the way.
Totally agree. GM, Ford and Stellantis are in for a rough ride.
Meanwhile EV sales growth remains strong. The number one selling car in the world is electric. And the fastest two growing car companies in the world are Electric. It’s going to be an interesting decade.
I think we have had this discussion before. Is tesla the number one selling car in the world? Despite Elon's claims, No, it isn't.
Is Tesla Model Y World’s Best-Selling Car? Nope, Not Even Close (autoweek.com)
Despite the massive government (tax dollars) infused capital to propel Elon to the richest person in the world, and all the hype and mandates, appetite for EV's still isn't there. As evidenced by the recent pull back from most auto manufacturers. Tesla might be the most valuable manufacturer, but it's done with tax dollars not car sales.
I have nothing against EV's but facts matter. facts manipulated to provide the illusion to support an argument or to coerce buyers. If you love EV's, great for you. But the reality is, if they are to overtake a proven platform like ICEs, hybrids, or efficient diesels, they need to be much much better. And more importantly, people need to want them more than ICE's.
The evidence is spelled out in the OP's observation. More gas stations are being built than EV charging stations. Pretty straightforward. Supply, demand.
It seems your claims may not be truthful. fastest-growing-automotive-brands-of-2023-in-the-world
But then again, anyone that makes statements of fact without any backup don’t have any credibility with me to begin with - it’s just idle chatter.
I stand corrected. I didn’t really consider Mahindra, and Lamborghini. In the mix as they are not mainstream manufacturers for the Asian, western and European markets whereas Tesla and BYD are.
My apologies.and remember. Tesla is still the most valuable car company on the world.
Hard to believe anyone believes that EV’s are going away.
I’ll leave it there. Been a fun discussion.
