On December 16, the Wall Street Journal published an article stating that U.S. automakers are attempting to boost profits by selling high-margin large fuel-powered vehicles (such as pickup trucks and SUVs, commonly known as 'gas guzzlers'), but this strategy conflicts with investments in electric vehicle (EV) technology. Due to the U.S. government's 'anti-EV' policies and consumer demand for fuel-powered vehicles, automakers are returning to more profitable fuel-powered models, but this move may further leave them behind in the competition for EV technology.
