VW subsidiary is building a new plant in the USA - but fears of a new Trump presidency are growing. Production is scheduled to start in two years, but it is questionable whether the calculation will work.

Ford offers good electric pick-ups with the F-150 Lightning, GM with the Chevrolet Silverado, Tesla with the Cybertruck and Rivian with the R1T. The market share of electric cars is growing, but the big breakthrough seems to be missing despite government support. Things could get even worse if US presidential candidate Donald Trump abolishes subsidies for electric cars as announced.
