Engineering realities always win out over ideologies and agendas; mandates simply exacerbate the problems.
Toyota was smart to make the well designed and engineered Prius Hybrid instead of following the herd into the realm of full Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV, DC).
Automobile manufacturing is a business and the entire industry has been hurt by the EV efforts. Now that the hype has turned to the reality of profit and loss the true demand for EV’s has hit a market saturation. The true supporters have already bought the vehicle they support and that’s it - there is no more. With major losses the manufacturers have their hand out for more free money and are hopeful government indulges them for their costly mistake. The leftist rhetoric about the virtues ofvEV’s has hit the wall and sane people are prevailing. Even the used vehicle market is punishing EV’s with severe value decline. Its buyer beware and buyers are being aware. The next thing to hit the EV owners will be the cost recovery for the environmental damage caused by the EV - and that won’t be pretty!
