And this is where I see a dead end(when compared to Ev), how in the hell can that be improved I have no idea.

And, if you don't smash the like button in my posts once in a while I will take it as a hint you do not like what I have to say and I will stop talking. 😀 🫸🫷

Best to ignore the trolling on here. I've learned to do that and not take the bait.

You are wrong.
There are people on this forum who want to hear everyone's ideas.

Not just group think.
Have ideas outside the "box"?

Who's hot right now?

Tesla is still plugging along.
The chevy Spark and etc are discontinued if I remember.

However, the KIA that Bit has looks good so I imagine those are selling but I don't know.

Who are the players and big selling models at this time today?

tesla is not doing well up here, down 63% in 2025…the dislike for Elon Musk up here runs deep and the tariffs are not helping…25% of US made Tesla models but none on German

Polestar was doing very well until the 106% tariffs on Chinese EVs, the lower priced model was deleted from Canada, but rumour is that it is coming back.

Bit has an Ioniq 5. They sell ok here, but model Y is still number one in California, and number three in sales among all vehicles (gas and electric) world wide, which is frankly amazing as who would have ever thought electric cars would take off like they have
