They ran full on to fascism. All these companies just love government mandates for the means of production. They were drooling at the thought of people being forced to buy their crap. And their major shareholders like Blackrock and Vanguard were all in.
Many people weren’t going to be able to buy into EVs even if they wanted to & apparently there weren’t that many that wanted to. An EV would probably meet my driving needs(except for cold weather) but certainly not at the price & reliability of even a used one. My present vehicle is 20 yrs. old, but it’s reliable in most every way. If Ford doesn’t know how to get back to that technology & reliability they once had...too bad.
Now they're trying to play innocent.
