Study says it's going to be hard for a while to find electric cars to take on a test drive.
EV availability varies by region, of course, and there's an interesting thing happening in California and the 15 states that have adopted California's zero-emission vehicle mandates. The ZEV states differ in how they will implement their versions of the various rules, but the important part here is that these laws set clear targets for future EV sales levels.
The ZEV states, therefore, already are and can be expected to continue to be leaders in the shift to electrification. But when the Sierra Club broke down its findings, it found that the dealer landscape was almost precisely the same in ZEV states and those without these future mandates. The nationwide number of dealers with an EV was 34 percent. In ZEV states, it was 35 percent.Where the ZEV states differ is how dealers feel about selling EVs.
Solutions to the EV drought have to come from the companies that build the cars, the Sierra Club said. Despite the many, many billions that have already been pledged to shift the bulk of new-car sales to electrified vehicles in the next decade or so, it's not enough, apparently. "It is the responsibility of manufacturers to deliver more EVs to all dealers," the report said.
