American EV makers are reluctant to compete with Chinese companies because “they’re not ready,” Stella Li, chief executive of BYD Americas, told NBC News in an exclusive interview.
I mean the best we got is Tesla. You see those damned things everywhere.
Theres been a ton of startups, but none of them are keeping up, or really trying to penetrate the market. Lucid was just aiming for the high end luxury segment. Fisker was dead on arrival. The only one thats really trying is Rivian, but theyre also focused on luxury, with some less expensive options years away.
Meanwhile, the big 3 are twiddling their thumbs. GM’s got their EV platform, but the only car they got is a Cadillac. The Bolt is discontinued. Ford has the Mach E that no one wants, and I dont know what the hell Stellantis is doing.
The Japanese are behind as well, with only a couple of options from Toyota/Subaru, Nissan, and does Mazda even have anything?
Really, it seems like its the Koreans who are putting up the best fight.
As long as Chinese EVs arent sold in the US, I dont see these companies really stepping it up yet.

I think you might be a little behind on Chevy EV news. The boltEV is back, the bolt EUV is around, the Blazer is electric and so is the Equinox.
