Electric vehicles (EVs) were once hailed as the future of transportation in the U.S., but their adoption has hit roadblocks. While EV sales have increased, the pace of adoption has slowed, and the country is unlikely to meet the government’s sales targets. Insufficient charging infrastructure and a lack of affordable options are contributing factors. Additionally, the focus on larger EVs, which require bigger batteries and more raw materials, has hindered progress. The U.S. should rethink its EV strategy and incentivize smaller vehicles, hybrid cars, and public transportation. While EVs have a role to play, they are not the ultimate solution to the transportation and climate crises.
