Part 4/7:
The general consensus among automotive analysts is that while electric car technology has advanced, EV adoption in the U.S. is not as mature as in other countries, such as China. A critical barrier to wider adoption arises from continued issues with public charging infrastructure. JD Power's report indicates that customer satisfaction with EV charging saw its largest decline since 2021 during the third quarter of 2024.
Such dissatisfaction is contentious; potential buyers hearing negative reviews may be discouraged from purchasing electric vehicles altogether. Additionally, with many options for low-cost electric vehicles available on the market, consumers may be more inclined to follow trends as they seek more affordable EV solutions.
