I think they’ve been trying, but it doesn’t exist because BEV tech is still expensive. It requires rare earth metals and big battery packs that cost a lot to make. We’re pretty good at combustion tech and building a combustion engine is much cheeper. Without massive subsidies across the entire EU I struggle to see how this can be implemented.

The cheapest BEV today is $30k. That’s the Nissan Leaf at the lowest trim package. Maybe the industry can lower costs a little, but we would need a pretty big jump in tech by 2035.
