EV Adoption Is Up. It's Just Moving Slower Than Expected (insideevs.com)

It's hard to know who or what to believe when it comes to the auto industry eventually going all-electric.

Lots of other media outlets, political pundits and EV detractors alike will say that EV sales have completely nose-dives, and the whole attempt at a zero-emission transition was a waste of time. Others say that EV sales are better than ever; a fact backed up with data. A recent study from J.D Power affirms the latter rather than the former—EV sales are definitely up. But interest in, and adoption of, the technology are both slower than expected.

I'm thinking about waiting long enough that the 4G network gets phased out then buy an EV with a 4G modem that stays offline.

Lol that's a good point. Also I saw someone on YouTube make a literal faraday cage like device. Kinda crazy but gets the job done I suppose. I would just snip the thing and call it a day. But I don't have the car so I'm not sure what will break...
