You say that targetting only the top 5% restricts the adoption rate. Consider me shocked...

It's almost as if consumers influence markets.

I think it is at least as much about maturity of the technology, and competition in the market. Obviously we all want better cheaper cleaner cars. That hasn't suddenly changed.

There are several EVs out now for under $50k, and a few under $40k, so things are improving.
