It has been 30 years since the GM EV1. The electric vehicle has finally reached a tipping point.

I remember seeing a red one parked daily somewhere on campus at Georgia Tech back in 96.

It probably helps a lot that those Chinese companies have Right-Hand-Drive models, while Tesla abandoned it in at least their X and S models. The societal backlash is also bad - my doctor recently told me his colleague found his Tesla covered in red paint one morning.
