I'd argue EV are still not commercially viable without massive non-indusrty investment (i.e. legislation) that spurred unrealistic stock evaluations of basically one upstart company 14 or so years ago. Other than the upstart, I don't think any other manufacturer is breaking even or making a profit selling EV.

Interesting, thanks.
