This seems very bizarre given Mazda is probably the least (of all "major" manufacturers) focused on EV and electric initiatives.

Mazda only had one EV, the MX-30 EV. Less than 600 of the MX-30 EV were sold in the US during its production. It was a complete flop right out of production. Mazda leadership has been notorious for pushing rotary engines and shifting further away from EV initiatives.

Did you even read the article? It has nothing to do with producing EVs, they are using the old EV batteries to help power manufacturing facilities.

This is very bizarre because that's exactly what GP was pointing out.
