The covid lock-downs put a serious kibosh on EV production.
The .ru invades .ua and its .ru financial lock-down has
also had a slow down, or stopping of EV production. And
some EV startups are closing.

In my daily EV news wire searches, I come across several
types of items. The good/positive ones I edit for posting as
part of my weekly EV List News posts. I focus my posts
to be a positive source of EV information.

The .ru invades .ua and its .ru financial lock-down has
also had a slow down, or stopping of EV production. And
some EV startups are closing.
This post is to show what is going on, so the public can be

easy to obtain. Also, some items are how EVs are used
to survive or fight the .ru invasion of .ua .
