No, electric vehicle sales aren’t dropping. Here’s what’s really going on::Tesla has been slashing prices. Ford just cut the price of its Mustang Mach-E, too, plus it cut back production of its electric pickup. And General Motors is thinking about bringing back plug-in hybrids, arguably a step back from EVs.

The charging network actually is about to get much bigger, as Ford will be able to use tesla superchargers starting sometime within next few months. (and is providing a free adapter to owners). I've had my Mach e for 6 months and couldn't be happier with it.

The charging network expansion is something I'll be watching. I decided the very soonest I'll buy is after they've switched things to the Tesla connector (which seems to be the one that's going to win).

The adapter is definitely nice but I'd rather not have yet another unnecessary connection adapter in my life lol.

I always wondered why people didn’t talk about this more. Ami the only one that thinks announcing a new charging connector in two years is announcing your current cars are obsolete? It would be annoying to pay so much for a car that will need to use an adapter in two years. I wouldnt do it. That’s got to hit their sales
