Once someone buys an EV, they see the technology, they see the driving experience, never having to go to the gas station, and they stick with EVs.
So I think it will happen over time, and that's why we're going to take costs out to get our EV portfolio profitable.
The whole industry, we were on a path that we were working to get to 40% to 50% EVs by 2030.
So now that the regulatory environment has changed and the consumer incentives have gone, there is going to be slower EV adoption.
We're still committed EVs, and we've got a great portfolio that we're working on taking costs out of.
But in the meantime, we also have a great internal combustion engine platform.
And you're right, full-size trucks are one of the strengths we have.
as well as full-size SUVs, mid-size crossovers.
So we really have a strong lineup across the board, and that is really what is fueling our business success.
Well, I think the consumer is very rational when they're making a decision about what car to buy.
Let's remember, it's one of the most important and expensive decisions that they make.
And one of the things we have to continue to work on to drive EV adoption is a more robust charging infrastructure.
And that still is continuing to happen.
So every quarter, more and more chargers are available.
I think as people in their individual communities see that they've got a robust charging network and believe if they have to go on a road trip, there's that as well, they're going to make that choice.
