[QUOTE="wilberforce15, post: 5487883, member: 5053"] The bigger problem is that an electric car is not simply a combustion car with a different propulsion system. They cannot be manufactured in the same facility, or done well by the same engineers. Expertise in combustion manufacturer is irrelevant. Car companies think they can simply switch, and they cannot. It is an entirely different product, requiring a completely different approach and expertise. And probably custom buildings. This is why most manufacturers lose money on almost all their electric vehicles, even after they charge a premium price. They cannot make them well. The average electric vehicle, other than Tesla, is being sold at a serious loss. And there is no short route for manufacturers to change that. [/QUOTE]
