Affordable Electric Vehicle Crossover Market Collapses - Here Are The Numbers

I would disagree that the BEV market is collapsing. The numbers in the EU are over 10%. Many of the manufacturers are prioritizing the EU over the US. You stated in this article that it has nothing to do with demand. That makes me think the title of this article is all wrong. The market is not collapsing but it is being restrained by the lack of production from the manufacturers. Also the dealerships are making it less affordable by adding market adjustments which only shows that there is a strong demand. The Electric vehicle industry is struggling due to multiple issues from chips to greedy dealers but lack of demand isn’t causing any issue besides raising prices because of greed from sellers. Please change your title to better reflect what is really going on. Stop the FUD.

What are talking about? The sales are delivery constrained. Have you try to by an EV.

“ As the affordable battery-electric vehicle market in America implodes, the type of vehicle shoppers desire most, AWD crossovers, are selling in tiny numbers. Be warned, if you are drinking the battery-electric vehicle Kool-Aid, this story will not make you happy.”

And!

“ Buyer interest is not the problem for battery-electric crossovers. Those that automakers can produce are immediately sold or have months-long waiting lists. This has been true for years. For battery-electric vehicles to succeed in replacing hybrids as the green vehicle choice in America, the volume of deliveries needs to double.”

Don’t see the fundamental contradiction in these two statements? You think manufacturers are going to jump into a new market and flood it? What this shows is the market is there. And that market will grow. Electric cars may not wipe out ice next year, but they are coming on like gangbusters!

It is a shame that Subaru is electing to build an entirely new plant solely for manufacturing EVs. So, no real Subaru EVs until after 2026.

I guess it isn't good business sense to replace an ICE manufacturing line with an EV manufacturing line.

Mentioned in one paragraph the Chevrolet EUV. Nice cover but it is the Chevrolet BOLT EUV. Possibly the largest black eye to the EV revolution since the EV-1. Only gm can so predictably shoot themselves in their foot.

Slant much, John? Comparing only AWD numbers to total sales of other vehicles is disinformation. Got news for you and your readers: EV drivers don't care about all-wheel-drive as much as you think. We care about efficiency, affordability (including the price of gas), and the environment. You're welcome to your ICE AWD, they're just not for us.

Has nothing to do with lack of demand for well priced EV"s. It's all about the charging network. Jim Farley knows that and all EV manufacturers need to go begging to Elon to joint venture an integrated charging network or spending billions on EV development will be a waste of money to everyone except Tesla

Misleading as hell!

Wait, wait,wait,wait,wait,wait,wait¡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I'll take the Toyota everytime thank you very much.. Good Day, Sir.

Nothing infuriates me more than incorrect headlines, and the firat paragrph is just as bad. The *market* has not colllapsed. The delivery infrastructure is not there to deliver. That has ZERO to do with demand, which is the market. Maybe take one economics course if you plan to reference the economy.

Second, EV proponents would vertainly not be upset that hybrids are selling big. First, they have batteries! And the hybrids these days can double the MPG of gas powered vehicles of just a few years ago. Huge hybrid sales are great.

Please get your stories straight and don't create false narratives to interest the climate deniers.

Thank you

What a stupid missleading article. You can't sell vehicles that don't exist. Supply and demand. If they were available they would be gone what is available is being sold at huge markups.

I agree with others that the title is misleading. Yes market is the combination of supply and demand, but historically, in terms of sales it’s understood as a synonym for desire.

This is hilarious! The EUV market IMPLODES??? Because... for one year, it has trouble keeping up with demand? Dramatic much? Wishful thinking? Sad because you know your dinosaur burner is itself becoming a dinosaur? True, supply likely won't catch up with demand for a while, since the EV6 and the Ioniq 5 are pretty amazing vehicles. But how is this an implosion? More like the wick of an explosion just got lit.

Tell me your an ICEr writer without telling me you’re an ICEr writer. You’re probably a tRumptard too

You say yourself that any vehicles produced in this category or being immediately sold. That is not a market collapse , actually it's the opposite. Their may be a production collapse but that can be resolved. It would be much concerning if the demand was not there.

Why the fork is the crossover AWD such a desired vehicle? Because the tooling is paid for? And marketing says bigger is better?

Crossover EVs aren’t even available easily which is understandable it hasn’t become a consumer product yet. I don’t want to go on ranting my pre about this writer anymore cause I l ready wasted hoping to find something concrete but it was waste of time and I won’t get my time back. Pathetic.

How unprofessional! The author of this article does not have any understanding about automotive market, trends, ramp up of demand and and and. P we

You don't say "The affordable electric vehicle market is collapsing!" and then throw a dozen "But they don't offer an AWD" excuses. AWD requires twice the motors and more current delivery, of COURSE it is more expensive.

This is just a manufactured scare article.
