I blame trucks and SUVs hollowing out the market for affordable domestic vehicles. The cost to electrify these vehicles is eyewateringly awful with their huge batteries and they can’t be charged quickly enough on level 1 charging, drastically impairing barrier to entry for daily driving in absence of infrastructure. So of course they didn’t electrify when they only really made profit on a segment hostile to EVs, they have enough difficulty moving their vanity trucks and bloated SUVs when more and more people can’t afford any kind of new car.
