A return to a mixed offering of vehicles -gas-powered, hybrids and fully electric- are what major auto manufacturers like Ford, GM and Stellantis are all pivoting towards.  While none of those automakers has officially announced changes to their long-term EV goals, there’s been a notable shift in messaging.  High interest rates, surging raw materials costs, and EVs becoming more expensive than gas-powered cars has slowed their adoption rate.  According to Cox Automotive, the available inventory of EVs in the U.S. has ballooned to 136 days; compared to 78 days’ for the overall industry.
