You can easily find out by putting your trip destination in the map. It will layout all the charging stops, and you can research the charging stations ahead of time. But you know that already

Tesla has some paints that are many many layers like that but Ultra Red isn't one of them. I think the only thing "special" about Ultra Red is that it has a red-tinted clear coat on top of the red paint, rather than red paint with a non-tinted clear coat.

To you EV officionados, my friends asking what is the reason for global EV slowdown and price cutting?
Is it because the population of early adopters is small and reached its limit, while the remaining mass majority of buyers are not yet ready for electrification, hence sticking mostly to hybrids?

I can tell you where I live, I see hundreds of new EV's everyday. Majority being Tesla, but lots of Mach-E, Ioniq 5's/Kia EV6 and other EV's. Also the non Tesla charging stations are filled, meaning they can't keep up with the demand of EV's on the road
I would say most automakers are doubling down on EV's, not scaling back, especially Hyundai/Kia where there is an explosion of new Ioniq 5's and Kia EV6's

I didn't come up with those numbers, I pulled it from new registration stats. I think the 26.7 sales number is only Q1 2024

It hasn't slowed down in California, where EV adoption has reached 24.7 percent of market share, and accounts for 26.7 percent of new car sales, which is a record. As far as EV growth in general, it's slowed down but is still growing steadily, the slower growth is most likely due to uncertainty, record high car prices, and high interest rates.

Talking from a global perspective.
I mean, why are these videos all over the place?

- 23.9% of all new cars sold in California last quarter were ZEVs, according to the California Energy Commission (CEC)

- 1,872,429 total ZEV sales to date
- 34% of new ZEVs sold in the U.S. are sold in California, according to the California Air Resources Board

Let's ignore California.

If you want to use health as a metaphor I have one.....
That's like getting sick and having an 85% chance to live, but then being told it's now 10% and not changing your attitude and/or readjusting your expectations.

Slowing NATIONAL EV sales, EV demand that are tanking, the fact that the market was soooo wrong, companies losing billions and going back on what they said..... the pro EV crowd says it's still a good thing where EVs are going, still on our way to electrification.

I challenge you to go out and test drive one, even something like a base model 3, base Ioniq 5, I don't care, and tell me it's not a way better driving experience. I challenge you. And if you tell me it's not, I'll shut up
