From Transport Evolved.
In the last few months, we’ve seen automakers backtrack on some of their commitments to electric vehicles – and we’ve already seen a rise in anti-EV rhetoric from certain political spheres.
Combine this with the announcement last year that automakers were switching from CCS Type 1 to NACS in the U.S., and you might be having second thoughts about buying an EV.
But should you wait – or buy now? We’re about to try and explore that question.
