The demand is there, just not at the current pricing point.

I'd love an EV, but there's no way I can afford a new car.

I’d love to get an EV. I rarely use my current car since I started working remote full time during the COVID shutdown. My wife and I have already discussed going down to one car between the two of us and that seems plausible. I have a motorcycle which helps.

Every time I even glance at an EV the large price tag is unjustifiable especially since I have no car payment. Something cheap, reliable, and can fit sports equipment with moderate range would be plenty.
