I know there are a number of people who love their EVs and think that it is the best thing out there... and it seems that gvmt was pushing for ONLY EV sales by 2030 or 2035...
But some of us were skeptical... it now seems that the big auto makers are also getting skeptical... some are starting to go the way of Toyota, producing hybrids.... which a bunch here said was more practical...
From the article...
Ford lost an estimated $36,000 on each of the 36,000 electric vehicles it delivered to dealers in the quarter - even more than its estimated $32,350 loss per EV in the second quarter.
Ford said its EV unit posted a loss in earnings before interest and taxes of $1.3 billion, bringing its nine-month EBIT loss to $3.1 billion. The company had forecast a full-year pretax loss of $4.5 billion for the Ford Model e unit.
