A couple weeks ago, someone here posted that EVs are this century’s Edsel.

The Big difference between the Edsel and EV’s is that there was nothing wrong with the engineering or functionality of the Edsel.

The biggest problems of Edsel was that it was a high end car introduced during a deep economic down turn.

It was also introduced during a time when Henry Ford was unpopular (the Press had turned against him) and it was considered poor form that he named a car after his son.

My view of history for what it’s worth.
