Regarding electric vehicles: The push is market driven with a political element.
Everybody and their brother is now producing electric vehicles and such cars are selling like hotcakes in China.
It is apparent that giants like GM and VW are not going to survive the onslaught. Ford may cease making cars and rely on the pickup for survival.
I would agree with your post, and add that it is no surprise they are selling in China where you cannot travel from province to province without permission.
As for the “The push is market driven with a political element” I would say that smacks of fascism as the Chinese Communists run their economy. Communism and Fascism have common core principles in some respects, and are ideologically closer than people think. It has been long known that fascists can be easily converted to communists, and vice versa. This was well known to both the Germans and the Russians.
