Customers do not want EVs.
I feel if the government (Federal and some states) would've let the market dictate, these manufacturers would have pushed the hybrid game significantly and we would have higher acceptance than we currently do.
Problem is 1000% the government.
For instance, mfgs could build fun/exciting EVs and use technology like BMW's "range extender" which is a small gas engine that provides 20-40 additional miles if battery power is drained so that you do not have the risk of being stranded.
Then further more - in Europe the range extender can be utilized when battery % is at 70 or 50% but in the US it can only be utilized at 5% (or 10%, I don't recall the exact cut off). and this is entirely because it wouldn't be classified as an EV and meet arbitrary US Gov't standards.
No one is buying an F-150 Lightening and accepting of the 75 mile range when towing their boat or a camper. That's ridiculous.
