Not a very long list, after all and most of them fantasy sports cars. I do wonder how BYD plays into Honda and Nissans decisions? And Fisker? I drove the SUV they had to offer, and while some of it was thought through, some features were gimmicky and it wasn't at all ready to go on sale. Stepping from a similar power Tesla into the much heavier Fisker left me unimpressed.

Then again, This is with an American eye. America is about 15-16 million cars total this year. China looks at 11-12 million BEVs this year. It would be unwise to try to convince a smaller market hostile to your product over trying to win shares in a bigger market ready for change.

I hope demand will grow in the US soon. When it does, there will be plenty to choose from in the rest of the world! I also hope the American companies will be able to learn how to build EVs, otherwise they will have a hard time going forward. Unless they are bailed out again...
