There are a lot of "starup" EV companies yes, but EVs are just awful overall which is what I mean by rightfully so. If EVs were any good, then that would be reflected in the successes of startups and existing companies EV sales but that's not the case. The technology sucks, the infrastructure sucks, their carbon neutrality sucks (varies depending on location, but we all breath the same air), their performance sucks and so on. They are objectively awful. Their use is growing for sure, but a lot of that may just be the result of clowns that glue themselves to roads adopting them.
Until the technology is further progressed, there's really no reason to be attempting to make these en masse because it's a waste of resources and money to design, create, use and then dispose of. Some EVs do make sense depending on their context and should be promoted, but it's stupid and reckless to just push them upon people over an ideology or to meet some stupid abstract goal set by some small circle of elites.
Surprisingly, even Waterloo Region had the sense to scrap its stupid EV bus pilot because...yeah...EVs are awful.
