Tim, I don’t know what your beef is. I said that to design and manufacture for the limited volumes of an electric only platform is very costly. R&D costs money. Car manufacturers have to design and develop cars for world markets, not just Europe and California. Most of the rest of the world don’t want EVs yet, and that’s why manufacturers continue to develop platforms that can accommodate all types of motive power.
If you object to my assertion then please argue the point. If you want to cite Munro, then show me where he says I’m wrong.
