its somewhat does in the situation where the alternatives are close enough. Which is now somewhat the case given that the established manufacturers have started pulling their heads out of their asses on the EV front.

Established manufacturers are pivoting again to plug-in hybrids.

Is this a U.S. thing? I assure you that established manufacturers have plenty of EVs available here.

I like your optimism. But I've seen too many people still buying products from questionable manufacturers in full knowledge of the issues and with alternatives available.
