Car Dealers Express Mixed Views Over Widespread EV Adoption, Citing 'Range Phobia,' Data Privacy Concerns, and Servicing Difficulties
  • 7 days ago
Car dealers expressed caution and optimism about EVs, saying the technology still needs advances. Dealers said many people have "range phobia," and insufficient charging infrastructure remains a major obstacle for potential EV buyers. The rapid shift towards EVs is seen as "too aggressive" and "too fast" by some dealers, who believe the government's goals for 2030 and 2035 are unachievable. Concerns about data privacy and the potential for unwanted data breaches in EVs have grown, particularly with the rise of Chinese automakers in the global EV market. Some dealers have experienced difficulties in servicing and selling EVs, with depreciation and limited services being significant factors.
