For over a decade, electric vehicles (E.V.s) have been heralded as the salvation of the planet, a technological fix to the existential threat posed by fossil fuels. Governments poured billions into subsidies, activists sounded alarms about climate catastrophe, and states began mandating the end of internal combustion engines. Yet, despite fifteen years of incentives, the E.V. market remains fragile, dependent, and increasingly exposed.
