Thanks for the warning. For sure, they could yet wuss out. Or politics or economics could intervene. But Europe is not the US when it comes to vehicle preferences. Even though the automakers push their bloaty SUVs very hard, Europeans still like small, lower cost cars too. In ICEVs, the top two 2025 sellers were B-segment cars. I really don't see much US demand for EV pickups, so I'm not surprised that Stella slammed the Ram (the lama ding-dongs). However, there's decent European buyer interest in low-cost, small EVs. Last year sales of Renault 5, Citroen EC3, and Dacia Spring added up to over 75k. That's not stellar, just a bit more than the Tesla Y alone, but it appears that there's some room at the EV low end. And there's a lot more EV competition in the C and D segments. So - fingers crossed. David Roden, EVDL moderator & general lackey To reach me, don't reply to this message; I won't get it.
