GM closes battery assembly plant near Detroit as lease expires

The US might end up being one of the slowest countries to transition to EV; partly because at a decent price there is Tesla... and not much else (shrug).

What a shame.

The rest of the world seems to get more (and better) EVs (convincing people by outclassing dirty cars on reliability and ownership cost), so the reliance on OPEP will be greatly reduced further every year.
