US EV sales in Q1 fell 7.3% quarter-over-quarter to 269,000 as Tesla sales remained flat and demand for EVs cooled despite more models entering the market.

I think EV sales will improve once more affordable EVs, and EVs not named Tesla come on the market. Tesla has become such a polarizing brand, thanks to their CEO. If I were a Tesla shareholder, I would be pissed at him for that. Admittedly, there are many people who have very positive associations with Musk and Tesla, but many others have very negative associations with the Tesla brand. That's not ideal, for any brand. But, I think EVs are here to stay, even if Tesla's market dominance isn't, necessarily.

All that said, the government needs to do much more. More subsidies and much more investment in charging infrastructure.

and much more investment in charging infrastructure.

This one is now the key. The vast majority of complaints now revolve around usable charging infrastructure. The people who rely on fast chargers (we should be making it so those are unnecessary for 99.5% of times) are finding many of them either broken, have the cables clipped, or they don't charge at the rated speed. Two of those things can be fixed with proper maintenance and the cable clipping can be fixed with proper security. Honestly, we need to incentivize PUDs to setup fast chargers. That will make EVs more attractive in rural areas and eventually provide a new source of revenue.

Also, people just aren't buying new cars in general, and a used EV is a hell of a lot cheaper than a new one.

Why are finance people 𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔢𝔵𝔭𝔢𝔯𝔱𝔰 on everything from civil planning to military strategy?

Capitalism is inherently authoritarian so the people with anything resembling financial information are treated oracles by people who only care about economic bottom lines. Profit prophets, as it were.
