People dont have money to spend on 20-50k€ toys when they can just use public transport or cycle to work. I assume the same is happening with the expensive fossil fuel cars.
Thats literally what i wrote lol…
People dont have money, so they will use cheaper alternatives. Thats why i wrote “expensive fossil fuel cars” because its about the price, not the technology. If there were cheap EVs then this wouldnt be happening.
But if you can use public transport or cycle to work, you shouldn’t drive a car anyway, EV or combustion engine. We need less cars in our cities and more public transport imho.

That is not the problem.
It is far more simple than that.
We are in a recession, people simply don’t have the money to buy a new car, when they can get a used car with a far better value.
Where I live people have more than enough, but they don’t care for these ridiculous electric SUVs. Make sane cars whose price is justified.
Yeah, I hate the current SUV and crossover style infecting every car model.

There are 13 EV models in EU under €25K.
Thats cool, but most people dont even have 5k in their bank account.
This is about EV demand slowing down.

EV sales are 27% higher in Europe 2025 over 2024. There are no sales in US because of tariffs and disinterest in the environment.
