Attendees were able to ride in electric vehicles, talk to manufacturers and inspect all aspects of many models on display at the event which was put on by CSUN’s Institute for Sustainability.
Doug Schwartz, who is semi-retired, put his gasoline-powered Porsche up for sale but so far has not gotten any bites. He thought that a new BEV with about 200 miles of range on a charge would suit him fine. So what’s stopping him? “I would say the cost. The prices are a concern,” he said. Inside CSUN’s Institute of Sustainability, a roundtable discussion on the industry, sales, and charging infrastructure shed some light on the state of EVs in Southern California. Most panelists said sales are picking up, even though supply chain issues are still a nagging issue.
Same story from Scott Stanley, general manager of Porsche of Woodland Hills, also on the panel. Its most popular BEV is the Taycan, a crossover with a range of 250 to 270 miles on a single charge. It costs about $100,000. “The last couple of years it has really taken off,” he said.
