Tesla? Rivian? Lucid? Faraday? Fisker?

To be clear, yes, of course I understand that those are all luxury brands, but that doesn’t make your statement any less false.

I mean, of course the explicitly EV-making startups are going to be all-in on EVs. The distinguishing feature that makes them not count compared to [established] US auto manufacturers isn't that their stuff is luxury, it's that they didn't exist before and have no previous internal-combustion product line to pivot away from.

What companies have gone all in on EV making that isn't a relatively new company/startup?
