ABC News: "To buy or not to buy an EV? That's the question consumers are asking"

Columbia Business School professor Gernot Wagner said more Americans will ultimately adopt EVs despite the roadblocks that are hindering ownership.
"The current U.S. government doesn't exactly make it easy," he told ABC News. "We have all but priced the cheapest EVs out of the market, in an attempt to protect domestic car makers. Charging infrastructure is still lagging behind most of Europe, China, and elsewhere. All of these barriers, of course, are just temporary."
He went on, "It's clear that EVs are the more efficient, better, and increasingly cheaper technology. And technologies, by their very nature, can only get even better and cheaper over time."
