Below is a list of quotes about EV adoption that will summarize where we are at in 2022.

Elon Musk: tweet about ICE vehicles being worthless (CEO of Tesla)

Your comment above: “Who in their right mind would buy an ICE after 2025 knowing its residual value will be zilch? Legacy auto: go EV or go BUST!” is super important for car buyers. Residual values for gas/diesel cars will plummet in coming years.

RJ Scaringe: quote about EV battery supply chains (CEO of Rivian)‍

Much of the battery supply chain isn’t built, challenging an industry aiming to sell tens of millions of EVs in coming years.

Peter Rawlinson: quote about EV charging infrastructure and the EV technology race (CEO of Lucid Motors)

It is critical that the US has a leadership position to catalyze the uptake of electric cars. Certainly charging infrastructure is pretty critical, not just fast charging (DC fast charging), but overnight charging and access to slower AC charging is a critical part to the landscape as well.

There has only been one winner in this game to date, and that is Tesla…Tesla has its world class technology in house developed and vertically integrated into manufacturing. As far as I am aware there are only two companies that do that in the world, Tesla and Lucid. This is a technology race, and the others do not appear to be in that race.

Jim Farley: quote about making EVs more affordable (CEO of Ford Motors)

Average people cannot afford these vehicles and we have a lot of work to do to make them more affordable....That’s the one that keeps me up at night.

Mary Barra: quote about making EVs more affordable (CEO of General Motors)

To really get to 30, 40, 50% EVs being sold, you have to appeal to people that are in that $30,000 to $35,000 price range

Joe Biden: quote about federal fleet of vehicles (President of the United States)

We have 600,000 federal vehicles that we — the federal government owns. They’re going to all end up being electric vehicles

Kamala Harris: quote about EV Policy (Vice President of the United States)

With the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we’re going to build electric vehicles—and the batteries and parts that go in them—in the United States, instead of relying on other countries.

Pete Buttigieg: quote about public charging infrastructure (US Secretary of Transportation)

To meet the climate crisis, we must put millions of new electric vehicles on America’s roads. It's time to build public charging infrastructure powered by clean energy and make it available in all parts of this country.

Mitch McConnell: quote about the jobs created from EV manufacturing (United States Senator from Kentucky)

I applaud Ford for their decision to bring their new battery plants to Hardin County, which will provide a much-needed economic boost to the region and create thousands of well-paying Kentucky jobs.

Thomas Ingenlath: quote about the value in EV batteries even when they are parked (CEO of Polestar)

The battery that we have in there will be a crucial part of the energy solution for the future because you need it as a buffer
