It's probably canceled, not only for reliability reasons. EVs and plugin hybrids are probably doomed, at least in the US: The EV tax credit subsidy is gone, fuel economy requirements will be or already have been eliminated, electricity prices climbing (my rate increased almost 50% on my most recent bill) and the Trump administration is extremely hostile towards anything related to renewable energy.
Does the market actually want EVs and hybrids if they require subsidies and regulation to make significant market penetration?
A functioning market that priced in the externalities and future risks would far prefer them.
Unfortunately to survive the next few hundred years, we may need another dictator of human behaviour than what the market wants.
yes, because EVs are cheaper to operate than combustion cars. US auto makers are obsessed with creating EVs the size of tanks, hence the absurd prices. The Chinese auto makers are selling what people want to buy.
It's funny to me that you think car manufacturers are either not doing any market research or are completely ignoring it.
