      I totally wanted a Tesla when I was younger. Seemed like it was going down the path of affordability, there was gonna be superchargers in every gas station, etc.

      If you asked me 10 years ago, I would’ve thought EVs would be absolutely dominating the market, maybe hitting 1/3 of new sales. Its like ~7% currently. Boy was I naive.

      Probably could’ve been possible if the government had any interest in that, but I digress.

      Meanwhile…

      From January to March of this year, nearly 1.9 million electric cars were sold in China, marking an almost 35% increase compared to sales in the first quarter of 2023. In March, NEV sales in China surpassed a share of 40% in overall car sales for the first time, according to retail sales reported by the China Passenger Car Association.
