Two expert opinions are given on the future of electric vehicles (EVs). Expert 1 argues that battery technology advancements and government subsidies will lead to a rapid increase in EV adoption, making them price-competitive with gasoline cars by 2030. Expert 2 contends that charging infrastructure limitations and persistent range anxiety among consumers will significantly slow EV growth, keeping them a niche market beyond 2030. If recent market data shows a sharp increase in public charging station installations and a stable, high price for gasoline, which expert's prediction for 2030 is more strongly supported?

The correct answer to the question "Two expert opinions are given on the future of electric vehicles (EVs). Expert 1 argues that battery technology advancements and government subsidies will lead to a rapid increase in EV adoption, making them price-competitive with gasoline cars by 2030. Expert 2 contends that charging infrastructure limitations and persistent range anxiety among consumers will significantly slow EV growth, keeping them a niche market beyond 2030. If recent market data shows a sharp increase in public charging station installations and a stable, high price for gasoline, which expert's prediction for 2030 is more strongly supported?" is Option A: Expert 1, because their arguments align with the observed market data..

The other options — B) Expert 2, as infrastructure growth is not sufficient to overcome range anxiety., C) Neither expert, as the provided data is insufficient to support either claim., D) Both experts, as their predictions represent different aspects of the market. — are incorrect for this GMAT Exam Prep question. As explained above: The data—increased charging stations and high gasoline prices—directly supports Expert 1's points (infrastructure growth, competitive pricing impact) and weakens Expert 2's arguments about infrastruc…
