Cause they are a shitty solution for most people. Folks have only been saying this 10 or so years now.
PHEV is a far better solution for most people and it's easier to build more batteries to using less material.
I don't understand how PHEV is better for the vast majority of people. People just haven't used an electric car. Never having to go to a gas station is a nice bonus. Education is the issue.
The two biggest real issues are price and charging if you don't own a house. Apartment buildings should have a mandatory 1 charging port per apartment. They don't need to be fast chargers, but it needs to be something where you can plug in after work and you're good to go in the morning.
Unless charging stops sucking PHEV is a billion times easier. You just have wave away the primary reasons people don't want them
PHEV is the best of both worlds. The phev f150 makes infinite more sense than the lightning.
Or just... Charge at home? How often are people driving more than 250 miles in a day?
I do it at least 5 times a year. Not to mention the significant population without access to dedicated charging.
