The Truth About Cars

JULY 12, 2023

We’ve been hearing about the rise of electric vehicles for years, but while they are growing rapidly in number, there’s still a disconnect between an auto industry hell-bent on electrification and the desires of the people they rely on to buy new cars. Though EV sales seem to be dragging, hybrids and plug-in hybrids are hot commodities.
