EV Adoption Is Up. It's Just Moving Slower Than Expected (insideevs.com)

It's hard to know who or what to believe when it comes to the auto industry eventually going all-electric.

Lots of other media outlets, political pundits and EV detractors alike will say that EV sales have completely nose-dives, and the whole attempt at a zero-emission transition was a waste of time. Others say that EV sales are better than ever; a fact backed up with data. A recent study from J.D Power affirms the latter rather than the former—EV sales are definitely up. But interest in, and adoption of, the technology are both slower than expected.

Buy an old ICE car. LS-swap or compact-engine swap it.

Modify with Fuel-Cells, CNG/LPG/BioGas and hybrid combustion-electric drivetrains.

Everything should be disconnected and only locally available on the CAN-bus.

All-EV is also an option, but I think that there might not be that many garages to do a full-EV conversion.
