The Kentucky Automobile Dealers Association represents dealers of all types of cars, trucks and SUVs, be they EV, hybrid, or conventionally-fueled. Jason Wilson is the trade group’s president. He says Toyota’s expansion plans come at a time when U.S. EV sales are decelerating, and the reasons for that vary from state to state.
“In Kentucky, for example, EV sales make up about 2% of new car sales, whereas California, it makes up about 25%. And again, some of the reasons are infrastructure, climate, commute times and mileage considerations."
