Can you tell me where "most" pick up truck sales are in the USA? How about Subarus? Toyota Camrys?

Do you think California, Florida, and Texas might sell the most EVs because they are the the most populated states in the US?

Yes , I could tell you the state with all reported sales and even define it to brands. That's easy.

No on the thinking it's population because EV sales in these state have more to do with other things like service and infrastructure than population.

My point was that using global stats to boost perceived demand has nothing really to do with demand in North America.

I came across this discussion on Shortwave radio this evening. I thought it was pretty interesting. It is about the EU adding tariffs to Chinese EV's. It is a roundtable discussion on a program called "The Point" and it's from China Radio International. There are some programs that they broadcast in English throughout the evening. It's definitely a different point of view.

I missed the first minute of the discussion. I thought of this threaded as I was listening. I thought some may be interested.

It's a bit hard to follow the discussion on my laptop. I know that China muscles in their ev's where ever they can. Portugal was kind of extorted into an EV deal with China. Chinese sales of ev's were lagging but a Chinese company is building infrastructure in Portugal so these cheap ev's are expected to dominate EV sales in Portugal.

Chinese electric cars undercutting rivals in Portugal

Despite the low price tags, the sale of Chinese cars continues to lag in Portugal.

And yet demand here in America - as I already pointed out clearly - is increasing - since marketshare is rising every year - despite the sensationalist claims otherwise known as FUD.

When I listen to shortwave, I always use my headphones. It's just easier and I don't bother anyone else being in a condo.

Me too. The music usually sounds better that way.

There are 50 States. Yes, you have pointed out that EV sales are increasing but even so there are only around 3.3 million registered ev's in the USA. Compared to the 284 million register vehicles in the USA , the 3.3 million ev's represent just over 1% of total vehicle registrations. EV's are not really that big a thing when using this perspective.
