I agree we’ll see some changes in demand as gas prices change, but not as much as before. We’ve seen in recent fuel price spikes that although demand for ICE vehicles may decline a bit, the percentage of SUVs and trucks within those sales didn’t change much. So it seems people still buy what they want regardless of the gas prices. Also, the cost to charge an EV away from home has increased significantly over the years and is no longer much cheaper than fueling up an ICE vehicle.
