> there's exactly one decent US-owned EV on the market, the Chevrolet Bolt.

I drive a Chevrolet Blazer EV. Test drove a Equinox EV as well. There is the silverado EV as well. Chrysler and Ford are mostly working on plug in hybrids which is 90% of the advantages of an EV for those who charge at home (if people will is debated).

Which is to say the big-3 car makers all have EV or close enough EV cars and are making more.

A major problem is that dealers hate carrying and selling EVs. If you want to get these vehicles you either have to special order them or you have to buy used.

I think a big portion of why Tesla is so prominent is because it's relatively easy to get a Tesla almost anywhere.

*edit* I'm out of date. It looks like the dealers around me are all stocking EVs now.
