Every where else the demand for electric vehicles is on the rise but here in Idiot America and in China where the ownership of EV's is already relatively high due to cheap, good range, decent EV's available and they're still pushing for even more adoption.
There's no demand here because Americans and their leadership in both government and corporate who actively hamper adoption and the refusal to actually meet the demand of having a cheap EV that can get decent milage.
In Australia we consider the Donald Trump is the greatest gift to EVs. Since he closed the Straight of Hormuz sales of EVs have skyrocketed. People now see EVs as a viable option rather than an early adopters plaything. The market has moved with the cost of fuel.
