The EV market has already hit a plateau, suggesting that it has exhausted the customer base for very expensive cars with short ranges. September 2019 sales were down (US and global) vs 2018, and 2019 Q3 sales were down vs Q3 2018 as well (also for the US and globally). These sales figures suggest that EVs need something new, like lower prices or more utility, to start growing again.

How do you determine sales (demand) plateau vs. sales (manufacturing capacity or brand loyalty having customers wait for their brand to ship) plateau vs. model availability plateau (i.e. no electric truck is shipping today, no fullsize SUV, no minivan, etc.)?

TCO my math has EV better than ICE already even in the US with lower fuel prices and typically higher mileage per day than EU.
