Seeing as this is about global sales, the infrastructure argument still applies and will apply for the foreseeable future even if you live somewhere where driving and consumption patterns fit EVs perfectly.

    Do you not have electricity at home?

    My post was also anecdotal examples of multiple people I know who have refused to get EVs despite having the option to.

    The pattern here is that most people can only afford one car, and needing to drive 350+ km between towns is not a daily necessity but still a common occurrence, otherwise you get stranded between towns in life threatening temperatures. Please explain how having power at home fixes that without charging stations in-between.

    350km between towns? Most people don't live in the middle of the outback. Obviously if you do then a plug in hybrid and endurance fuel tank might make more sense.
