It’s worse than that. The grid cannot support projected “all electric” demand. As an added bonus, the grid is only 34% efficient. But to really fix things, let’s replace our “on demand” electrical generation with intermittent sources.

You said "Ford just fired their entire ICE engineering team"

That is an exaggeration and not true.

In 2021, the US car industry sold around 14.9 million light vehicle units.

300K/14.9M = 2% backlog?
