I wouldn't at all be surprised if we get a flood of relatively cheap to maintain EVs from China, as a parallel of the durable and cheap cars we got from Japan in the 80s. Except this time, it wont be so much that the components themselves are reliable as that they are standardized and all the DRM is removed so that they can be affordably serviced. I don't think the future is very bright for domestic auto makers. First, they foolishly declare they will stop selling ICE vehicles, handing that entire market segment over to asian competitors, and then they screw the pooch with EVs via user-hostile designs. 2021 was the first year since the 1930s that GM wasn't the best selling car maker, being dethroned by Toyota - a company that really does make lower TCO vehicles.
