This is it, the electric car industry is moving ahead, regardless of the old guard trying to hold things back.
If these companies are not careful with dragging their feet, they could put themselves at a major disadvantaged compared to rivals that do push hard on electric cars.
What the EU is doing is trying to light the fire under them so they move quickly to electric cars, otherwise, rivals from the US and China will eat up the market.
My next car is going to be electric and because of that, the ones that don't push in that sector won't get a look in from consumers like me.
In any case, if these companies and governments are worried about job losses now, imagine how bad it will be if most consumers end up only wanting to buy electric cars and these companies are not ready for it, most consumers could look at rivals from the US and China for their next car, I certainly would if these European car companies don't get their act together and this is going to be more the case as more consumers put more solar up, many will want to power their house and electric cars by that, if they produce enough energy.
All that is going to make petrol and diesel cars very unappealing, especially on running cost.
But seriously, how many of us are really going to want to buy a petrol or diesel car by 2035? By then, electric cars should be quite good and decent price.
