If you’re reading this, you’re more than likely not the owner of an electric car. According to Experian data, as of the third quarter of 2023, only 1% of all registered vehicles in the U.S. are electric. Former Big Three automotive executive Bob Lutz explained why the EV push isn’t resonating with buyers or suppliers to Fox News Digital.
We've had 125 years to perfect the internal combustion engine, and we've had roughly 15 years so far on doing modern electric vehicles with modern batteries," Lutz said. "Electric vehicles are fun, they drive well, they're silent, they're fast." EVs also have fewer moving parts, their brake systems are more durable and, overall, it's intelligent technology, according to Lutz, but they’re expensive and unreliable when it comes to charging.
The former exec also made the distinction that a liberal, environmentally focused crowd is "pushing the heck out of" EVs, while conservatives typically "reject" EVs as another example of government control.
