The headline suggests it’s a problem that the USA is working on. Evidence suggests that in fact the approach being taken is to imitate an ostrich, and bury the collective head in oil and gas money.

While the government might be doing that, the US auto manufactures are taking a different approach. GM makes some nice EVs.

[-] XLE@piefed.social 17 points 1 week ago

Genuinely, have they? All the EV news I hear from the US is projects stalling or getting cancelled.

[-] bluGill@fedia.io 7 points 1 week ago

Those are what make the news. GM has a lot of EVs that look just like the ICE of the same name and they don't get much news.

Equinox and Cadillac lyriq are everywhere, you just don't recognize them as EVs.

[-] bluGill@fedia.io 2 points 1 week ago

I drive a Blazer EV. Another one that you won't recognize as an EV. The only obvious difference is the lack of exhaust pipes in the bumper. (and possibly the lines where the charging port opens/lock of lines for gas filler.)

Any sedans and hatchback, or only more gigantic trucks?

I don't want an electric "vehicle", I want an electric car.

[-] bluGill@fedia.io 1 points 1 week ago

Does GM make any of those? Sadly in the US market, selling real cars is almost impossible and so no one makes them. I too would prefer a sedan. However, I have to face the reality that in the current fad world I'm a tiny minority that's not worth serving and so I have to take what I can get., I'm a tiny minority that's not worth serving and so I have to take what I can get.

The Ford Mustang Mach-E seems very nice as well
