For the time being, the automaker will continue to produce petrol vehicles while working to expand its EV lineup with more models, including affordable ones priced around $26,000.

We need to focus on our platforms, such as our hardware for battery-powered electric vehicles, a unified software stack, batteries, mobility, autonomous driving.”
