(The Center Square) – Gov. J.B. Pritzker, whose goal is to have one million electric vehicles on Illinois roads within six years, admits demand for EVs has tailed off.

Pritzker joined the Illinois Manufacturers Association and representatives from the EV industry Tuesday for the first ever “EV Showcase Day” at the governor’s mansion in Springfield. Pritzker said Illinois has maintained its status as a leader in EV manufacturing and battery production, but admits demand for EVs has decreased.
