Are EVs Dead?! Reacting to @DougDeMuro

From Ben Sullins.

Check out my daily EV podcast @DailyChargeUp or at https://dailychargeup.com

Thanks to Doug Demuro for all the years of great car content, and for joining me on a few podcasts! In a recent video he asks the question "Are Electric Cars Dead?" which includes his thoughts on EVs as well as the three main drawbacks as he sees them.

My goal here is to bring data and context to the discussion while approaching others viewpoints with curiosity and respect. I’ve met Doug on several occasions and at times will message back and forth about EVs.

Let me know what you think in the comments and subscribe for more!
