Honda to shelve $11bn Canada EV plant as demand sputters

[shockedcanadian]

As I have warned for some time, America and Japan are turning their backs on us. We greatly hurt ourselves by capitulating to China for their slave labour EVs.

Europe will sell us all kinds of stuff but they want none of ours. We are being abused by everyone except the U.S and we turn our back on U.S and liberty.

Don't blame me. I tried to save this place, to no avail.

I'm shocked!

Without government force, no one wants to buy EVs.

If a typical car purchaser could spend a day with my Tesla (M3 LR), s/he would be much more likely to consider and EV. Between the performance, the economy, and the lack of necessary maintenance, there are good reasons to get an EV that a lot of people are not aware of. The fears of battery and motor death are wildly overblown.

How many people can afford the price? Not many.
