I'm looking exclusively at the European market, where the big players are still in denial over BEVs taking over any time soon. There's a lot more talk than action going on in the "Tesla killer" market over this side of the pond. Also a lot of confusion over the definition of an EV, with pretty much all manufacturers lumping PHEV in with BEV and simply calling them all "EV". It makes them look a lot more committed to a true EV future than they actually are. For example VW has recently admitted that it's current EV plans are not up to the task of meeting future legislation, so they're now having to have a rethink about accelerating their EV plans. This is following their CEO recently claiming they were planning to produce 50 million electric vehicles, but without any schedule or definition of what they consider to be an "electric" vehicle. Then when many people called BS on that number (which didn't tie in with any of their investment plans), it was suddenly revised down to 15 million vehicles by 2025. Still no idea how many of those would actually be full BEVs and I very much doubt VW know either!
Let's put it this way, I'm fully expecting to be buying several more Teslas before anything else on the market takes my interest. I passed on the iPace, which seems like a reasonable first effort but I'd much rather stay in the X for a whole bunch of good reasons. iPace production capacity is low too, with a forecast volume under 20K cars per year, which they are currently nowhere near.
