Reply to comment by 8to24 in Global Electric Vehicle Sales Up 62% (Overall Auto Sales Down 8%) by ElectrikDonuts

I hear you, but actually producing is a big deal.

14K Rivians

15K GMs

128K BMWs

336K VWs (Audi and Porsche fall under VW)

135K Hyundai/Kia

28K Fords

365K Teslas

Those are reported 3rd quarter YTD BEV numbers. I did miss BMW (those minis :) and gave Ford way too much credit. Everyone other than the highlighted 4 are struggling for production. As noted by someone: 'Production is hard'.

Cumulatively that's about a million cars just last year. Considering cumulatively only 52k EVs were sold per year 10yrs ago a million is enormous progress in a very short period. That million also left out Polestar/Volvo, Mazda, Mercedes, Honda, Nissan, and others who also produce EVs.

All those other EVs maybe add up to a 10 to 20K total. Again mostly compliance vehicles.

Agreed on the movement of EVs. We're about to hit the S curve of EVs. And who's in great position vs. who's not. The ones who are not in position, only the highlighted + Ford are ready. The rest, I'm sorry just aren't going to be there.

Its good to see VW taking the bull by the horns. I was very skeptical. I assume those are most European eco cars and better, not $4000 Chinese GM golf carts

Correct. They're German made ID series vehicles, and they're quite good.
