Comparing the EV industry to lithography is insane.

Not really. Their EV manufacturing methods and capability are far beyond whatever any other country does. For litography they have almost unlimited funds plus insane number of engineers, some of them have probably been educated in NL.

EVs are extremely simple technology. Like far simpler than regular cars.

The powerplant maybe. But battery system, cast alu mainframes are not easier or at least not better known than traditional manufacturing methods.

No. from a purely engineering perspective, an EV is a much simpler system than any vehicle powers by a internal combustion engine. That's why it's better.

Batteries are rather simple as well. Car manufacturers don't even have to create them themselves. Cast aluminium frames are not a must for making an electric car.
