John, as far as I know the reasons there are so few plug-in SUVs (or cars) of any brand other than Tesla on offer is pretty simple: it is mostly due to the fact that, until recently, no car makers (other than Tesla) have invested very much in battery and components needed to produce in large enough volumes. Are there other factors? Of course, the pandemic induced semiconductor shortage, supply chain chaos from war (and pandemic), some manufacturer’s foot dragging (looking at you Toyota… yes the Rav4 Prime is great, but it’s not enough) etc. Good write up on the figures. I think it’s going to be another year or two before we really see anyone besides Tesla selling plug-in SUVs in numbers over 100k.
