Notes on the EV Adoption Curve

Here’s what auto enthusiast Jay Leno says about the EV adoption curve, i.e., that they should be used during the week for low-speed commutes, where your “426 Hemi that gets 9 -11 mpg” can be taken out on the weekends.

Well, he’s wrong.  Very few American drivers want two cars: two sets of maintenance schedules, two registration fees, two insurance policies, etc.

As costs come down, range anxiety disappears, and consumer options grow, we can expect a steady replacement of gas- and diesel-powered vehicles with EVs.
