Unlike the standard car manufacturer they dont have petrol/diesel cars from which to make a profit to sustain the electric car dev costs. Need to google why car manufacturers dont use solid state batteries if their range is so much better than lithium ion batteries.

I think you already have the answer in your post.That be expensive.
I would argue 600 miles is a bit excessive as well, maybe for haulage but for the consumer market that will be a bit of a niche, especially in Europe.
