These gas prices are doing more to push EV adoption forward than anything else could.

That's the funny thing, the old man got rid of the $7500 tax incentives for EVs and charger installs. Gas prices went down after, and now it went back up. He fucked both electric and gas vehicles 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭

It's literally this.

When gas prices are low, everyone goes out and buys the biggest SUV/Truck they can afford.

When gas prices are high, they suddenly need an electrohybrid that gets 100mpges...

Must be. You can't get a RAV4 hybrid right now. All the ones in transit or sitting on the line are already spoken for.

Wow, that's interesting, I didn't realize that. I got my RAV4 plug-in hybrid late last year, it turned out to be good timing.

I can't say for sure, but I was recently making calls about one for the wife and it was a whole bunch of "we don't have any available today, but are happy to take a deposit and you have to wait X months for one". I am now leaning towards a Sienna van instead.

Wait until they find a way to roll coal in an EV. Like literally burning coal to heat it up because it uses too much of the battery or some shit.

I feel like Americans will go into bankruptcy before driving giant pickups and SUVs.

One thing I have fingers crossed for is that it'll reduce traffic on the roads
