This is ludicrous. Manufacturers like BMW are making massive investments into EVs. Their shareholders demand to see a return on these expenditures. The executives can't just decide to waste these investments by sabotaging the byproduct of their investments into EVs.
Yet they still managed to make the iX3 rwd only and the electric Mini has the range of a crotch rocket. The intelligence of BMW's iTeam does seem a little suspect.
I think it's totally fair to question the wisdom, but I don't think any company is sabotaging their own products.
