The car manufacturers are used to sell certain types of cars to a certain public.

For EVs, the customer expectations are different and they needed time to figure out what the customer wants/needs.
Once that’s done, the manufacturer also needs to develop these new technologies. (Batteries, charging circuit, car ECU, software,…)
