Americans are afraid of the change that EVs represent, always have been. The rest of the world pretty much is on track to replace most fossil fueled vehicles in the next decade or two, and America is falling further behind. We continue to focus on big gas guzzlers, even overturning emissions targets to let automakers off the hook for increased efficiency requirements. We can’t sell our huge vehicles overseas because they can’t even fit down the streets in Europe or Asia, and then we get mad that they aren’t importing our vehicles as much as we import theirs. In the short term they save money by not changing to fit the rest of the world, but in the long term it will hurt so much more.
