If you think American industry has been screwed by the machinations of the Klimate Kult over the last two decades, consider that the EV market has basically tanked, resulting in billions of dollars in losses as it tries to be other than a niche market.
Even the threat of government interference has failed to gin up demand in markets which remain reticent to adopt EVs, commonly because the stakes are high.
Vehicles which fail to perform when and where needed, commonly under conditions those in more temperate climates consider extreme, become not just a commercial liability in the workplace, but a matter of life and death when transporting children or adults in subzero conditions in less populated areas.
While for those in more urban, higher population density surroundings in areas where help is more likely to be obtained due to passing traffic, and conditions are far more survivable, and who do not often travel large distances to and from work, EVs may be an alternative, or even preferable in high density population areas due to the lack of tailpipe emissions and the availability of assistance if in need.
If any vehicle could meet the needs of every market, there would be a lot fewer designs out there, and the EV is no exception to that. Six figure losses per vehicle are not a sustainable business model.
