The north American car culture is a fucking disease. People think "oh we thought about an EV but what if I want to do a road trip and also haul a load of rocks at the same time" and think that a big chud truck is the only answer. It's unimaginable for these chud dinosaurs to have to charge a car twice in a long day of driving or to just rent a vehicle for the 3 road trips they do a decade.
In contrast, car culture in China is not an integral part of being a masculine beef eating shit face, so consumers see a dirt cheap car that is more than capable of doing 99% of trips, and then for the 1% remaining they get on the goddamn train.
Americans just want the big SUV because of their insecurities, and use those “but what about those 1-2 trips to Home Depot I make every year” excuse as justification, because they don’t want to admit they’re insecure.
