Buyers are now aware of the consequences of purchasing an EV

Moreover, EVs fail to match the expectations of their buyers because of how their manufacturers manipulatively and exaggeratedly advertise EV capabilities in the market. For instance, the distance an EV can travel on one charge does not accurately reflect real-world conditions, especially during the winter season. In reality, drivers need to cut that range in half during winter to have a more accurate reading. Then there's load and towing capacity, the figures for which are also overblown. The reports suggest that information provided to potential buyers may not encompass the full picture. While some EV manufacturers have touted their electric trucks' ability to pull trailers, critics argue that the extent of these capabilities is often misrepresented. For instance, it's alleged that buyers were not adequately informed about the frequent recharges required when using electric trucks for heavy-duty tasks. So now, the initial surge in demand for EVs, primarily driven by early adopters willing to embrace the technology and the lifestyle changes it entails, seems to have subsided after realizing the harsh economic lesson. Thus, the continuous increase in EV production is not sustainable. "The spectacular growth we’ve seen over the last few years cannot be sustained. It’s just not possible," Fiorini told Insider earlier this month. "The further up this growth curve we go, the harder it’s going to be to get to the next level," Fiorani told Business Insider.
