Seeing how Toyota is strong in practically all continents, they know what's going on. Ford invested heavily on EVs that it can only sell in limited markets. Hyundai Ioniq 5 I believe is far more successful globally than the Mach E which is not sold globally.  

Outside the US and Canada there's the MG4, a mainstream RWD EV that also happens to be one of the brand's most popular modern models. In Australia it starts under $37,000 AUS ($23,920 US) Since it's also available as a dual motor AWD, in theory it can also be built as a FWD EV if they wanted. Cargo volume is average for a compact hatchback (the MG4 is about as big as the previous Mk3 Focus hatch). 

Does anyone know why my 2kw ProPower only powers up to 1500kw, regardless of whether I have a load on it or not. It has reached 2kw a couple of times, but mostly only 1500.    Anyone have similar experiences or explanation? Thanks!

The overall frenzy by the media and climate advocates put immense pressure on manufactures as well. Toyota was crucified for not quickly jumping into the EV frenzy. Turns out they were right about how this was going to play out.

Since Tesla’s fall from grace, EV proponents have been looking for other all-electric manufacturers to promote.  Expect INSIDEEVs may be a little more biased than sources covering all types of vehicles.

They are definitely all over the forums and fb groups reading what people are posting.

IIRC the most affordable BEVs in US seem to have been FWD, including Chevy Bolt, Nissan Leaf, Fiat 500e, Mini EV, etc. Obviously MSRP doesn’t necessarily reflect what they cost to manufacture so only speculating.  Tesla RWD Model 3 is not far behind in price though.   There have been low-cost RWD exceptions including BMW I3 and Smart EV which are at smallest size range; though sales volume of these were much lower than the FWD mass-market vehicles mentioned previously.  When vehicles are extremely small, like the Microlino city car with only two seats (European Isetta EV concept), RWD seems to work well.  Not sure there is a firm design rule that must be followed, but expect that for mass-market 4-door affordable cars, FWD will be most popular.

Hi, I'm wondering if any Lincoln or Ford engineers or techs follow this site to check on problems or issues their customers are having with their vehicles. I'm having an issue with a 2025 Aviator & submitted a post about it about 3 weeks ago, & am having no luck. 

FWD EVs are less complex and Simpler to produce than RWD/AWD and are more Space Efficient.  FWD keeps all the high-value/high-voltage systems in the front of the vehicle, simplifying assembly and reducing cost.  MEB   MEB FWD
