[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]They pulled back because the sales are down. It's as simple as that.

They started ramping up because the Biden administration made it a de facto mandate to see a certain amount of EVs as new vehicles. They are currently being sued over the mandate and the car manufacturers are a part of the suit. It's unrealistic to have a mandate when there is still so little infrastructure to support the EVs.[/quote]

Sales are not down. Sales are up but are going up at a slower rate. Most, if not all EV manufactures in the US saw a growth in sales except Tesla. But because Tesla was over half the market, when it went down it made the entire market look bad. Really only Tesla has an issue. As another poster mentioned, the Korean manufacturers are selling EVs like hotcakes. BMW has seen more growth in EV sales than in ICE sales.

[b]Part of Ford's problem is that it seems to have misunderstood the market. They keep producing huge monstrosities.[/b] Even the Mustangs is an SUV now. Demand appears to be for smaller, cheaper EVs[/quote]
Isnt that where they make most of their money and where the greatest demand is? On trucks and Explorers? They're expensive and sell well.[/quote]
