Market opportunity and user insights

• U.S. EV market penetration remains below 20%, with a lack of affordable, intelligent AIEVs and underdeveloped infrastructure.

• Survey results highlight strong demand for EVs in the $20,000–$30,000 range, range-extended AIEVs, and intelligent cabin features.
