      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

        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.
