This is a very poor growth of evs for worlds top brand. Tesla has produced 40 times evs. Inspite of great demand for mustang and f 150 truck , ford is not able to produce enough after 5 yrs of ev production. Even India Tata motors produces more and suitable evs. Japanese and American auto cos may be loising badly in future.
