As I understand it, automakers have decided EV's are luxury vehicles with high price tags and high margins. Minivans are markedly none of those things. The article mentions that GM axed their minivan because it would be too popular. We don't have EV minivans for the same reason. They would instantly become the top selling EV and would ruin all other EV sales.

While I generally agree with the sentiment, I would also like to introduce you to the 2024 Chrysler Pinnacle PHEV, MSRP $63k. I can't speak to the margins, but they've certainly got luxury and high price.

Not to mention, all these "van life" people often have converted vans worth up to $100k.
