That model will have a six year run that will be likely very successful deep into the decade. Jeep sales have almost doubles compared to 2005. North Americans are in no hurry to get into EV's. Mass adoption will take a long time in North America as it's going to be a very gradual process.

The reason it's miniscule is that the incentive for the big 3 hasn't been there. Trump was pushing against green energy and set everything back for all of us here. He really screwed alot of things up for North America and development in that area. The big 3 were licking his boots as he was rolling back green legislation thus China is now leading the way here. GM has made a major pivot towards electric and is looking to have 40% of its production electric within the next 5 years. Norway 70+% of all new vehicles sold are electric.
