    US is being left behind when it comes to EVs thanks to government policies that discourage buyers from buying them. Ford has already said Chinese EV makers would leave them struggling . US is now dumping ground for inefficient, internal combustion vehicles while the rest of the world surges on regarding EV vehicles.

  • A question

    Not sure if the Motor week staff reads these but in watching the retro reviews I noticed that around 1988 and through about 1994 they always called the show “motor week 88, motor week 92” etc. I like it! Why did they drop the year reference? Thanks
