<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe problem is that manufacturing electric cars at those prices remains very difficult, especially with expensive batteries and increasingly tight margins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the US, there have been losses, delays, and partial reversals. Both Ford and General Motors acknowledged significant losses stemming from their investments in electric cars. As a result, they have decided to postpone their full electrification plans, something very similar to what is already happening in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The intermediate solution is clear: invest in hybrids while observing what happens with pure EVs and, above all, with the roadside charging infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The focus is no longer on technological impositions, but on adapting to the real market and using flexible platforms. One of the most relevant trends seen in Detroit is the redesign of platforms so that the same model can be offered in gasoline, hybrid, or electric versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This approach reduces risks, allows production to be adjusted to demand, and acknowledges an uncomfortable reality: not all markets advance at the same pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The era of imposing a single technology seems to be over. Now the customer\u2014and price\u2014calls all the shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although not physically very present at the show, China was the elephant in the room. North American manufacturers are fully aware of the risk posed by a country that dominates the manufacture of batteries and electric cars and continues to lower prices year after year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In many markets, Chinese EVs are already dangerously close to the prices of gasoline cars, something that could change the global balance very soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the US and Europe hesitate, China continues to innovate, improving energy density, reducing costs, and selling worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The general feeling at Detroit 2026 was clear: \u201cwait and see.\u201d Wait and see what happens with technology, prices, politics, and the consumer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the market doesn't wait forever. In a few years, some manufacturers\u2014including big names\u2014could find themselves in very precarious situations. Because, ultimately, cars sell according to market demand, not policy dictates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And Detroit knows that lesson better than anyone. Before long, we'll see what time brings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
