When you are far behind on a technology, the least you can do is blocking every new project on this technology to ensure you will stay the last to adopt it. The next step is to be a crybaby and ask for money to stay on the market when everyone got the electric pace but Honda.
I thought your comment was about US automakers and public charging infrastructure, until the second to last word.
But?
Honda
"EV demand has declined considerably, due to the rollback of environmental regulations in the U.S. and other factors," Honda said in a statement.
We need an influx of affordable EVs to make it possible for car buyers to respond to the rising gas prices. The price threshold is still too high.
I agree with you. Let BYD into the US market and see just how high the demand for EVs will be.
