I think the carmakers are all reading what way the political wind is blowing. They know governments are itching to ban ICE vehicles and the fuels they run on. The marketers, who hyper-focus on the <40 crowd for future sales, know the Millennials and Gen Z kiddos want “Green” transportation. They have decided the smart thing is to follow the market and let the problems solve themselves.
The pendulum will probably swing the other way in a few years as the reality of these problems rear their ugly head, but lithium battery tech has made electric cars possible and they will be a part of the market from now on.
It must be hell to be a product planner at the vehicle companies.
Because in 2025 Trump is gonna reverse all the current mandates.
