‘California EV sales stalled…raising questions about whether state will fail to meet its groundbreaking mandate banning sales of gas-powered vehicles’
Excerpt: David Simpson, who owns three car dealerships in Orange County, said he is not seeing increased demand for electric cars. While the initial rollout of some models, such as the GMC Hummer EV, did well at first, the demand did not continue.

The number has doubled in about two years.
