In most U.S. zip codes, electric vehicles are cost-competitive with their gas-powered counterparts, according to a new study. And regarding emissions benefits of EVs, individual driving patterns matter as much as regional factors like the local electricity mix.
And yet American automobile companies are dinosaurs who want to kill EVs.
Oh yeah which ones? The only American auto companies are Tesla, Ford, and GM and all of them offer EVs.
Ford cancelled their battery plant and most of their EV plans. Stellantis seems to be doing similar. GM is also cutting back. All decisions made based on slowing EV sales data … right before the Iran war hit
Ford makes the Mustang MachE and it sold well first two years, then Trump killed incentives.
F-150 Lightening, but that is sort of outside EVs traditional market
Sadly, Ford ended production of the F150 Lightning 5 months ago. Chevy has paused Silverado EV production, but not outright canceled it yet.
The Lightning is being replaced with an EREV, which is arguably a better option.
Stellantis isn’t an American company, and I dont understand why people keep trying to claim it is.
Ford didnt cancel a battery plant they just won’t be making EV batteries at every plant to instead focus on batteries for energy grid storage. This is probably a smart bet since they’ll still be able to do battery pack R&D in a way that actually leads to a product that sells.
Can you point to where GM is slowing down? Looks to me like they’re increasing their EV lineup by bringing the Bolt back next year.
The Equinox and Lyric are selling well. New Bolt is $27k.
Lemmy likes to make shit up and complain about it. They get mad at auto makers when people refuse to buy EVs yet buy over 3 million pickups a year.

Lyriqs and Blazer/Equinoxes are selling like hot cakes for GM.
