No, electric vehicle sales aren’t dropping. Here’s what’s really going on::Tesla has been slashing prices. Ford just cut the price of its Mustang Mach-E, too, plus it cut back production of its electric pickup. And General Motors is thinking about bringing back plug-in hybrids, arguably a step back from EVs.

An EV would work if the infrastructure was there. Modern EV batteries can charge full in like 15 minutes but it's not even gonna take that long cause you'll obviously not be plugging it in at 0%. The charger needs to support that amount of power throughput tho tbf.

Right, but it's not yet. So a PHEV is a better option for most people (for now).

True but the issue is that your government isn't doing anything about it. They could e.g. require every gas station to have an electric charger (Will be the case soon in Germany)

Okay. And until the government does something about it, a PHEV is an excellent choice.
