FWIW, the last round of EV manufacturing mandates and requirements came together with EV charging network subsidies as well. Those subsidies are what’s motivated Elon to hustle with NACS and what motivated this group to get together. As you can see, they didn’t announce anything in Europe, despite being forced to make EVs there as well.
I’m just glad the hydrogen push is over for now, that was clearly driven by the oil lobby, and was such a waste of money.
