“The competitive reality is that the Chinese are the 700-pound gorilla in the EV industry,” Farley said in a recent appearance on The Verge‘s Decoder podcast. “There’s no real competition from Tesla, GM, or Ford with what we’ve seen from China. It is completely dominating the EV landscape globally and more and more outside of China.”

America makes big vehicles because fuel is cheap. Fuel is cheap because it's subsidized by the gov. Stop subsidizing fossil fuels. Subsidize EVs more. There's no downside.

Europe still has mostly small vehicles because it costs a fortune to drive trucks and SUVs.

Trucks and SUV don't fit on European roads and forget ever parking one.

Really? So you don't have any commercial vehicles? Everyone makes deliveries in sedans and hatchbacks?
