Nearly all major car companies are sabotaging EV transition, and Japan is worst, study finds

.

Those are reasons people don't want to buy EVs, not reasons for companies to sabotage the change over.

What about the batteries, though? How would Japan source those? All-in into aluminium-air?

I know Toyota is still ragging on EVs because they invested a lot into hydrogen tech and want that to be the next big thing instead. But I didn't know Honda, Mazda and Suzuki also under-invested.

The margins are thinner. There's almost no resale value. Someone might buy a 60k car and eat the payments for a few years, knowing that they can sell it any time for a decent price.

Buying a 60k EV is more like setting your money on fire. The car might be fine, great even, but it just won't hold it's value.

I know someone with a decade old Leaf and that thing is still going strong with more than 300k on it.
