Part 5/12:
The adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) continues to accelerate, especially in California. EV sales in the state now constitute 25% of new vehicle registrations, tripling the 7.5% figure from 2020. This rapid growth reflects global trends toward electrification, with many regions expected to follow suit despite some delays.
However, despite EV popularity, certain challenges remain, notably heat-related performance issues. Bloomberg's recent article claims that extreme heat can degrade EV batteries, but Tesla's vehicles are largely exempt from these concerns, maintaining reliable performance even in high temperatures. This resilience enhances Tesla’s reputation for durability and quality.
