Misinterpreting what I'm trying say-I'm looking at this long term between now and 2035.


What we get between now and 2028 or so is already more or less decided, since the engineering work has been completed and the logistics of manufacturing it are being ramped up.


What happens long term, post 2028 is what isn't nailed down yet. Yeah there is talk of making 50% of all new car sales in US EVs...will that happen? Prob not...if pricing comes down similarly to what ICE/Hybrids are, the more likely it is. Lets see how the build out of charging around the country goes. I know my area is a head of that now due to demand, but I can see more rural areas having issues.


Working on a new PHEV starting in post 2028 world would be a stupid move by pretty much anyone...your just better off improving what you have at that time till EVs can take over.Tue, 05 Sep 2023 20:01:10 +0000
