They’re simply too expensive across the board. Build me a subcompact, bare-bones street-legal EV for $10,000 and you won’t be able to make them quick enough to keep up with demand for a decade.

But they won’t do this because they rather all compete for a small pool of luxury buyers and lobby to hold the line.

Hell, I’ll even take crank windows, manual locks and no key fob, just to get the cost down. AM/FM radio only, no fancy computers, just an electric drivetrain with A/C, heat and can get me too and from the store and work.

No heated seats needs as well, and no internet connectivity. Hell remove the Bluetooth as well.
