The data found about 68 per cent of car shoppers in 2022 who did not own an EV showed an intent to purchase one, but that dropped to 56 per cent this year.

I'm waiting for my ICE car to die. And I'm waiting for those new batteries that handle the cold better.

Preferably a non-tesla. Tesla would have a NAZI in the mouth

Same. I have an 08 sedan with 220K km. I'm not going to pay for a new car so long as my old car is still working reasonably reliably. It's at the point that I won't pay for a big repair, so it's just a matter of time.

That said, if electric cars aren't available to buy reasonably quickly, then I might not have much of a choice. I'm lucky that I don't need to drive much for work, but I do need to often enough to need a car.

And fuck Tesla. I've heard way too many horror stories about their lack of quality control that I'll never even look at buying one
