26 Ford reports its venture into electric vehicles is a disaster...Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe recently suggested that the supply chain for EV batteries is still far behind where it needs to be to achieve many of the goals pushed by Western governments...90% to 95% of the supply chain does not exist.

Just look at the price of lithium batteries for cordless tools, the batteries now cost more than most of the tools.
Lithium has doubled in price this year. Dave, X22.
Ev's are a great supplement, that is all.
Chevy's got to be right behind Ford. The only non-electric car they sell is the Malibu. They completely did away with the Cruze and the Impala.
There's simply no infrastructure to support a nation of electric cars, not to mention all of the other issues with the cars, themselves.
Its almost as if they plan on no one driving cars
Why don't they use NiMH batteries like the GM EV1 used?
Something to do with battery patents and Chevron IIRC
