The "mass market" in almost every country outside of NA is already adopting EVs, and a large part of that has been Chinese cars which aren't sold in the US due to protectionism and regulations. Take a look at EV adoption across EU or Asia or anywhere else really (BYD in Brazil for example), and you'll see the same story everywhere. It is pretty much a NA centric perspective that "EVs aren't there yet" cause the definition of "there" is bulky pickup trucks with 1000 mi range.

I am a US consumer so I am looking at the US market. If you read my original post I am spending time and money to thoroughly evaluate the EVs in my price range. I can't go and buy a Chinese car in Europe so why should I be concerned about whats going on there? You are doing what I alluded to in my original comment: You are overlooking at how actual consumers are satisfied with ICE and are not seeing enough benefits to switching to EVs yet.

People just drive more and for longer distances in the US. It's a real thing that people are used to, and EVs don't match the need.
