Europe is close behind.
We seem to have more or less, abandoned the markets.
Red China and the EU are forcing (or attempting to force) those firetraps on their unwilling populace.
Pushing EV nonsense- again....
Electric cars aren’t worth the time or the money invested.
At least in China they’re still producing electricity. EV’s make less sense here unless you live in a state that still produces electricity and/or live in an area that’s good for you producing your own power with solar.
They make all the batteries for the cars. Once they have their cars in the market, they can have “supply chain problems gor hhrir competition.
The upcoming strike should help. /sarc
—”Europe is close behind.”
More like falling behind.
In EV Transition, German Carmakers Lag Behind Tesla and China

“For decades, German carmakers dominated their industry with brands that were bywords for excellence and consumer appeal. But as the sector transitions toward electric vehicles, they are falling behind. “
VW fired CEO Diess because he wanted to slim down the company; Back in 2020, Herbert Diess, former CEO of VW said it takes VW 30 hours to produce a car compared to Tesla’s 10 hours.
The union did not want to hear this.
So he was toasted.
Well, yes. EVs make no market sense in this country, that’s why the government had to step in with mandates.
I make several 500-mile trips per month. I can do it in just over 8 hours with my ICE vehicle. With an equivalent EV, the trip would take two days. And I get 60,000 miles on a set of tires, not 3,000 miles on a much more expensive set of tires. Nope. EVs make no sense for me, or for a lot of other normal Americans.
I have had more countless products destroyed and rendered useless by one small cheaply made chintzy Chinese made piece of crap part then I can even count.
Think of spending 50 grand for a machine that has 5000 parts just like that sitting inside of it...
