The U.S. automakers are pushing EVs because they figure their best strategy for staying in business is to sell overpriced cars with a bunch of UAW-made powertrain components replaced by batteries produced with non-union labor.

Most Japanese and Korean companies don’t have to deal with that issue.

Honda and Toyota have multiple factories in the US that are not union, so they don’t have to deal with that crap one way or the other.

Both of my Honda autos were made in the US (also my lawn mower, snow blower and weed-whacker).

I was just in Korea in July. Their EVs have special license plates and they're easy to spot. I was amazed how many of them I saw on the roads. My girlfriend (a Korean American) said it's because electricity is really cheap there.
