From Production Quotas to Junkyards: The Surplus of Unwanted EVs
Imagine a future filled with clean energy vehicles and guilt-free plant-based meals—a vision many politicians and corporations eagerly promote. However, beneath this façade lies a troubling reality: government policies are leading to an oversupply of unwanted electric vehicles (EVs), flooding the market and turning aspirations into excess. As production quotas ramp up, the dream of sustainable living risks becoming a burden, with many EVs ending up in junkyards rather than on the road. This disconnect between vision and policy calls for urgent scrutiny and innovative solutions.
