No, electric vehicle sales aren’t dropping. Here’s what’s really going on::Tesla has been slashing prices. Ford just cut the price of its Mustang Mach-E, too, plus it cut back production of its electric pickup. And General Motors is thinking about bringing back plug-in hybrids, arguably a step back from EVs.

How they got rich doesn't change their sales figures. Other countries that got rich in different ways could apply the same techniques.

No, you are right. But I do think most countries do use the same techniques, the problem is they can't give subsidies for up to 50% of the new car price. It is simply not sustainable. There are also not enough cars to go around even if they did and even if most people had enough money burning in their pocket for a new car, which they don't.

I just find the how they got rich ironic..
