Americans are not interested in electric cars

American car buyers are far less interested in electric vehicles than their overseas counterparts, put off by high prices and not enough charging stations.

In a way it makes sense, the US is a massive country geographically and Americans do like to drive. Therefore the lack of charging infrastructure would be an issue for them. That is however a problem that is being solved as I am typing here with both more chargers and better long distance batteries.

Also, only 29% will next buy an electric vehicle, based on the size of the US car market that is a HUGE number of cars in absolute terms. This will further improve economies of scale that will bring down the overall cost.
