    I think inflation eating the economic wiggle room for many is a bigger factor.
    Unless of course ICE cars are doing better? But I think growth was not expected for ICE, but it was for EV.

      My understanding is that hybrids are seeing the most demand, while EVs are seeing a drop in demand.
