STILL A LOT TO DO - I MAY TAKE LONGER I thought Electric Cars Were the Future. I Changed My Mind I thought electric vehicles were the future of transportation. Not so much because they're clean, but because many car enthusiasts love them for their powerful acceleration. However, it's becoming increasingly clear that the necessary upgrades to the electric grid aren't going anywhere near fast enough to get the transition done according to plan. This is why I believe now we'll likely see a shift to hybrids in the near future. My Commentary: Power Grids without beeing 'SMART' won't be very helpful. We are still far away today from 'Smart Power Grids'. We need orchestration! dirk.heuss@dhub.de Source: Sabine Hossenfelder, 26.04.2024 https://lnkd.in/ehEX22iY

I agree with CDG on many points from this interview but have a different perspective on some: → Tariffs protect jobs short-term but lead to higher consumer prices. Long-term, they rarely work, as seen with the U.S. steel and global solar panel industries. → Chinese cars will eventually enter the U.S. market — just a fact. Emphasize competitiveness and innovation vs. tariffs. Chinese EVs are like a #wildfire, spreading quick and hard to contain. → The U.S. market lacks a mid-$20,000 entry-level #EV. Automakers must prioritize affordable options. → Low interest rates spoiled consumers with feature-rich cars/SUVs/Trucks. Higher rates are pushing them toward smaller, less expensive options. → BEV manufacturing will soon become way more cost-effective than making ICE — China already leading. Software sales offer significant revenue opportunities. → The U.S. EV market is recalibrating after an oversupply of ‘subpar’ models that people don’t want to buy. Focus is on “crossing the chasm” to attract pragmatic buyers. → Higher leasing penetration and creative financing will reduce payments, making cars more accessible. F&I capabilities will be pushed/tested. → Meeting customers where they are is key — always. PHEVs is a bridge. I enjoy listening to CDG interviews. Great job, Car Dealership Guy.
