Electric cars were supposed to be the future. But car makers are going back to gas guzzlers. What’s happening?
Car sales have stalled. Even with big discounts, some brands are struggling. Tesla’s sales dropped 36% in the UK.
What’s going on?
Big brands like Volvo, BMW, and Mercedes are adjusting their plans. They’re making more gas and diesel cars again.
Not giving up on electric
They’re not ditching electric cars entirely. Instead, they’re slowing down the switch to electric only. They’re focusing on plug-in hybrids and pushing back deadlines for fully electric cars.
- Consumers are hesitant
- Prices are high
- Infrastructure is lacking
It’s a reality check for car makers. They need to respond to the market and what people want.
The future of electric cars is still uncertain. But one thing is clear: car makers are taking a step back and rethinking their strategies.
