Hate to break it to everyone, but all the companies are going full electric and fairly quick. Ford will probably announce next, VW’s well on the way. US/Europe are probably going to be well beyond the Japanese on this.

Do you have any insight into what the plan is on this?
Metro areas, where EVs make some sense, have woefully inadequate power infrastructure. But even that isn't an insurmountable obstacle. The other 90% of the country - well, it will take half a century or more to be able to power EVs through the mains even to make a serious dent in ICE vehicles. Where's the plans and the money for the distribution improvements and the production increases to match?
This takes "build it and they will come" to a kind of ridiculous extreme.

Everything is going electric. I bought a battery powered chain saw. Will never go back to my tempermental Stihl. Best tool I have ever bought.
I have yet to drive an electric car but people I know have and they love them.

Best estimates that electrics will only have 25 percent of the vehicle market by 2035. There will still be a 75 percent demand for gasoline/diesel vehicles in the world by 2035. A lot of companies are promising to build electrics, but they will still be heavily invested in building gasoline vehicles to meet demand.
