Sunday Musing: Do You (Should We) Trust Automakers On EVs?
By the end of last year, we'd started to see many U.S. automakers roll back their plans for electric vehicles to align with anti-EV sentiment in the U.S. White House. In Europe, many automakers have (to differing levels of success) lobbied governments across the EU to be given permission to delay the inevitable transition to electric.
And 2026? We're already starting to see more companies backtrack on past promises. So today, Nikki has just one question:
Can we REALLY trust the auto industry (and automakers) on their EV goals?
