    Also no US auto-manufacturer is going all in on EVs

    Tesla? Rivian? Lucid? Faraday? Fisker?

    To be clear, yes, of course I understand that those are all luxury brands, but that doesn’t make your statement any less false.

    No, the major auto manufacturers aren’t going all-in on EVs, but that are all getting deeper every year. There’s no reason to expect that progress to slow down, as they’re all quite entrenched in the technology at this point.

      Average new car cost is $55,821, and average cost of ownership is $12,182.

      The American manufacturers do not want lower prices. Dealerships don’t like electrics because there’s less maintenance.

      I mean, of course the explicitly EV-making startups are going to be all-in on EVs. The distinguishing feature that makes them not count compared to [established] US auto manufacturers isn’t that their stuff is luxury, it’s that they didn’t exist before and have no previous internal-combustion product line to pivot away from.

        What companies have gone all in on EV making that isn’t a relatively new company/startup?

      A US automotive reviewer goes to a Beijing EV expo, and compares the state of US and Chinese EV production.
