This illustrates why the dates for EV Sales percentages will likely change in the future. Keep in mind the recent passage that went through was not for 2030 , but amended to 2032, but when all is said and done, I have to believe the US consumer will make it hard to meet the guidelines by 2032 for pure EVs. But since changes included Hybrids we may find buyers getting close to suggested balance by then. With Tesla Sales falling ( there are so many other better looking EVs out there now ) and changes by Ford ( more hybrids ) along with Toyota's reluctance to forge ahead with fully electric vehicles and to also focus on Hybrids, it could portend a move towards other efficient alternatives already for buyers. Who knows, but I will admit that new hybrid vehicles like the 2025 Ram Hybrid truck ( range close to 800 miles ) intrigue me and cause me to believe some Sci-Fi like projections I chatted with engineer friends years back are not many years from reality.
Imagine :
An ICE hybrid with solar panels, regenerative brakes , and more, that was not only fast and yes, could be noisy, is not that far in the future. There are actually some cars out there now with some of the these items and the idea of having a range of 1000 miles or more between fill ups/charges is quite interesting!
