Over here the government offered a $7000 rebate on an new EV purchased... so that has made quite an impact on the uptake and also motivated us to look at making the switch.

Certainly not saying the whole EV thing is for everyone but for folks kinda on the fence and looking to get a new car of some sort ICE or EV it did help us make the change across.
