Looks like they were trending back up in '23/'24 and this doesnt include any of Trumps time in office where he removed EV subsidies.

I'm amazed that they don't see the need to transition. If anyone has the know how to make one it would be them but they seem disinterested and it's random startups instead who are figuring out the mechanical engineering from scratch and running circles around them. Who would have thought that they were so attached to internal combustion drivetrains they would go down to the sinking ship
