Industry experts predict that electric vehicles (EV) will account for 40% of car sales by 2030. Global EV sales barely nudged 2 million units in 2020 , but could top 73 million by 2040. However, while EVs are still under-represented on the highway, they’re set to dominate on the sales forecourt. That signals a shift in momentum.

Some research has shown that purchase rebates can be more effective than income-tax credits, the committee noted. However, sales of PEVs must increase to justify further investment by automobile manufacturers to diversify the products offered. As a result, there appears to be an information gap at the primary point of sales.

And so that's what we call "DC fast charging." New DC fast-charging stations are being built at a fairly fast clip. The challenge for the makers there is that there are multiple DC fast charging networks out there run by different companies. Now it's much simpler, but if you buy Apple stuff, it all works together.

The committee does acknowledge, however, that even well-informed consumers might not buy a PEV because it does not meet some of their basic requirements for a vehicle (that is, consumer information and education cannot overcome the absence of features desired by a consumer).
