I'm all for more EVs, but anyone who's followed the EV space for the past decade knows that most of these models are DOA. Take the Audi e-tron for instance: the director of the Paris showroom (the only place in Europe where the car was displayed in public) himself told me late last year that they don't intend to sell the car in volume, that it can't compete with the competition, and that EV sales are mostly PR for a company like Audi (at least until ICE don't make most of the company's profits). NB: this is not a regular dealership, but a fully owned and controlled store by Audi. Good luck with that!
