The Germans are hedging their bets but the German car industry - a very powerful lobby - is now pushing back.
They are seemingly not going to sign and neither are the Italians.

In reality there is room for both EV and ICE.
Personally - I'd love a Honda E for local driving.

Re: Has the electric car bubble burst?
Thats the one I was thinking of, really like the look, range is just too small though for the odd busy day

So max of 130 miles, realistically, range anxiety at about 100, which is too low.
And £36k plus

Bit of a mini vibe, looks wise….IMHO

not sure I'd have liked to have been stuck for 6 hours on the M62 in an electric car last night though

Well, exactly.
However:
This is what I call an interior. What a fantastic bit of design. If I had to have an EV for town driving I'd buy one like a shot.

Re: Has the electric car bubble burst?
36k isn't unreasonable but it needs a solid 200 mile range.
Definitely a Mini vibe. More Mini like than the atrocities BMW have planned.
Look at this nonsense.
Mini Shiteman?
