It would be good to investigate how much of the push by auto manufacturers to make EVs was due to pressure from the government. They all had to see that there was no real profit in it absent government subsidies.

I agree 100%. And more than just govt subsidies for EV's. The Dims were openly stating that they are at war with gas cars. With the Biden CAFE standards all but saying that they want gas cars to be impossible to make by 2030, you've got to cut the auto manufacturers some slack for trying something else.
