The only manufacturer that might be able to compete with TM would be Nissan. They are serious with a BEV and are exploring longer range and high volume pack production with one of the battery supplier leaders. Unfortunately the are not really competition like the Germans could have been.
As I posted in the Nissan Leaf portion of this forum, Nissan has come out to say that they are ONLY increasing the range of the NEW Leaf 25%. So it will only have a range of a little over 100 real miles. This is not being serious.
And Nissan has three of their own battery factories, and are not "able" to get enough raw materials for them. You gotta plan farther than that if you are "serious".
I am not happy with Nissan and their decision. I was hoping for better than that.
