Everyone is pulling back on EVs, and it makes me so sad/angry.

We were making so much progress just a year ago.
Relax chicken little Ford is not challenging your climate change ideology, but it is reacting to the market

Don't make assumptions.

This has nothing to do with climate change for me; I assume that is a lost cause at this point.

I just want more EV infrastructure, which will come with more EV uptake.

Honestly I think this is a good thing long term for EVs.

Focusing on fewer, but profitable models means that EVs have the potential for “staying power,” vs being written off as a “failed experiment.”

Too many manufacturers rushed in too quickly and got their tails handed to them from a sales and profits standpoint. We ended up with too many models fighting for a small market share.

When some large brands can prove that EVs can be profitable, more money will come pouring in.

Plus consumers won’t get burned by models that go away with little or no support (I’m looking at you Fisker).
