♔ Why it Matters
◼︎ Not long ago, EVs were the entire future.
◼︎ Now—they are part of it.
◼︎ This isn’t failure. It’s recalibration.
The shift was never purely technological. It’s economic, behavioural, and infrastructural, moving at different speeds.
◼︎ Consumers hesitate where cost, convenience and emotion fail to align.
◼︎ And emotion still matters. Particularly at the top end, where silence can feel like absence.
◼︎ For executives, the message is clear:
◼︎ The EV story is no longer binary.
◼︎ It’s longer, more complex—and far more interesting.
The destination hasn’t changed.
📍 ‘But the road there now has a few more bends.’
