Dealerships are purposely not selling EVs. They make most of their money on service. EVs have so many fewer parts there are less points of failure.

The manufacturers are mad enough about this some have been buying out and closing dealerships. GM has been doing it a lot with Cadillac and Buick in particular so far.

Yep, EVs mean the death of service centers which is how the stealerships make money.
