The market and the money in electric cars, is driven by this market, not the Amercian market.
Whats needed is a fast charging small electric car, top speed maybe 100 mph that can be mass produced for under $10,000 USD, preferably 5k, designed primary for city and country usage.. not freeway. And there's actually lots of American companies working on them but they don't get the media coverage.
Asia and India are 1000x what the American market will be.
