The State (and Future) of EV Adoption with Chris Bowe

Are electric vehicles actually dying, or are we just looking at the ultimate market correction? In this episode, we are breaking down the official Q2 2026 EV sales data from Cox Automotive to separate the mainstream media narratives from what’s actually happening on dealership lots. With EV market share stabilizing at 5.8% after the post-incentive crash, the game has officially changed. We sit down with two industry experts to tackle the hard questions: Is the current hybrid boom a gateway or a massive roadblock for BEVs? Can legacy brands like Toyota actually catch Tesla despite Tesla owning half the market? And is a surging used EV market about to completely cannibalize new car sales? If you want to understand where the automotive industry is actually heading over the next five years—without the hype—this is the conversation you need to hear. Let us know in the comments: Are you buying a hybrid next, or waiting out the EV winter?
