An interesting contrast showed up in my RSS feed regarding this subject: First this HN post: Toyota to invest $1.3B in Kentucky factory to build battery packs and new EV A few lines below that: Toyota Refused To Hop On The Electric Vehicle Bandwagon, And It Paid Off Big Time [1] We'll see where the chips fall but thus far it seems Tesla is one of the few western companies which manages to profitably produce and sell consumer EVs. I suspect Chinese companies like BYD run at a profit as well but it is hard to get access to reliable data. Volkswagen seems to be aiming for 'profit parity for EVs' in 2025 but they seem to have a long way to go [2]. [1] https://dailycaller.com/2024/02/07/toyota-2023-fiscal-year-3...
