The claim, framed as debunking a 'luxury EV market myth' heading into 2026, suggests mainstream, affordable models matter far more than high-end ones in the EV transition.
Why now: It contradicts the widespread belief that EVs are mainly a luxury-segment phenomenon, prompting debate ahead of 2026 model launches.
