Well they’re not really trying all that hard to be honest. I think it’s because the US gov isn’t holding their feet to the fire.
The EPA is considering relaxing EV requirements, however there’s woefully low investment in the grid and little to no tax incentives for more public chargers.
Also used EVs are selling in record numbers. Which tells me there’s a hole in the market for a 25k EV econobox that can go 200 miles on a charge. The chevy Bolt is close, but Chevy is talking about sunsetting it, and it’s the only car that’s close to competing with Tesla as far as gross sales go.
The story that Ford is losing 130k per electric car, tells me no amount of tariffs are going to fix things.
