Clean Tech News & Views: EVs, Solar Energy, Batteries
I wrote an article a few days ago about Ford’s soaring EV sales, and how that growth is, in a somewhat bewildering way, following statements from Ford CEO Jim Farley at the end of 2023 and beginning of 2024 that EV sales are not as good as they’d hoped.compared to the first half of 2023. Nonetheless, sales are apparently not as high as Ford had hoped.
I want to discuss these matters from two angles, or two different types of concerns: 1) the consumer inertia angle, and 2) the automaker inertia angle.electrifying — much quicker than in the US. Even now in some developing countries, sales of fossil-powered vehicles are shifting to sales of electricity-powered vehicles faster than they are here.
Here is my sincere question. When America falls behind the world on this technology due to a third of the country locking arms to say no, will this third own any responsibly in the demise of our auto industry? Because the better mouse always wins. Last time it was Detroit’s fault. This time it is a particular set of consumers. Just don’t cry foul when BYD, Nio, and JAC replace them.One concern is that no matter what Ford itself does, consumers will be slow to adopt electric vehicles.
