EV Sales Are Down… So Why Are Americans MORE Interested? | The Friday Charge Ep 102

Americans might finally be changing their minds about electric vehicles. ⚡🚗

Despite EV market share being down this year, the latest HERE-SBD EV Index reveals something surprising: 53% of surveyed drivers say they are more open to buying an EV than they were a year ago.

In this episode of The Friday Charge, we break down the numbers behind that shift—including the impact of gas prices, improving charging infrastructure, faster charging, increased range, and growing confidence in EVs as a practical purchase.

We also discuss another delay for Stellantis' EREVs, including the Jeep Wagoneer EREV and Ram 1500 REV, Volvo discontinuing the EX40 in the U.S., and why the upcoming EX60 and rumored EX50 could reshape Volvo's EV lineup.

Plus, new European data raises a major question about plug-in hybrids: Are PHEVs actually producing far more emissions than their official ratings suggest? With real-world emissions reportedly reaching six times their certified levels, we look at why owners aren't charging their PHEVs and how the EU plans to respond.
