I just want to add that there are -a lot- of private citizens that have made their own electric cars that get much better millage then anything a “car company” can make. The oil companys aren’t going to just say “Oh sure, we dont mind if you use a produce we cant/dont supply, we’re sick of making billions of dollars a day.” Its not that the “car companies” cant make a successful electric car, its that they wont.
