The rise of inexpensive Chinese electric vehicles has upped the pressure on legacy automakers who have turned to suppliers, from battery materials makers to chipmakers, to squeeze out costs and develop affordable EVs quicker than previously planned.

      I have no disagreement on this argument.

      But C-suite compensation is not a significant part of prices.

      Energy prices, tax, labour costs and the cost of capital (i.e. returns to shareholders and creditors) are what drives prices.

          You are literally contradicting yourself.

          And it’s childish to downvote someone who is actually responding to you.

          I’m not going to waste my time on someone who can’t be reasonable and civil.
