American companies are clamoring for electric trucks and cars to help them lower costs and reduce their carbon emissions.

There are two electric vehicle markets: one is for private passenger cars and the other is for electric trucks for commercial customers. Many Americans are cool to the idea of driving an electric car. They have questions, lots and lots of questions — Where will I charge? How long does the battery last? How far can I drive on a single charge? Any professional salesperson knows people won’t buy something until all their questions are answered.

Are those dealers going to spend money to train their sales staff how to answer all the questions buyers have about electric cars? Of course not. That’s like slitting their own throat. And so they park the EVs they have in stock out back near the dumpster and conveniently forget to charge them so no one can test drive them.

Combined, these companies have over a trillion dollars in annual revenue and operate 1.3 million vehicles in the US. The results of thewere clear. Those companies plan to buy more than 330,000 electric vehicles, including sedans, SUVs, pickups, and box trucks. They know all that and they want to know why the manufacturers are not giving them more of the vehicles they want. While the automakers are scratching their heads and trying to figure out how to convince John and Jane Q Public why they should buy an electric car, these companies are jumping up and down and waving their hands, saying, “Hey! Over here! We want electric cars and trucks.
