Yes, but how many people make that car/truck decision based on what they need? That would be two vehicles. One F350 double cab that tows the 40 foot camper to the lake 4 weekends a year. Then a plug in electric car that seats 2 people for the other 95% of the driving.
What you see, is one person driving a double cab F 350 to the job at the mall or office. Because they tow a trailer a few times a year.
It might not be that bad in Austin, Santa Fe or much of California. But in the rest of Texas and New Mexico, people ran out and bought the huge trucks and Suv's just before the gas prices went nuts in 2007-8. Even now, one of the indicators that the economy is coming back, is a huge jump in sales for huge trucks, cadilacs etc. Nothing has changed.
Sure, a few weirdo's like us are on the cutting edge. The rest just want a new V8, or turbo V6. That's America for you. The "future" is just like the past. Gimmie your fossil fuels, or we'll come take them. That's America for you.
