I think it's more to do with the chip shortage. Yet another reason to go back to making basic, good cars and trucks.
But I think we're seeing auto makers more or less going on "Pause" mode, waiting out the delusional political class. But they KNOW the realities. They have their own actuaries. They can see how impossible the EV dreams are, with what we have, now.
I think that if EVs are superior, they'll take over. Let the market decide. The environmental trade-offs are too close to call, when you figure in everything that goes into the making of EVs. If everybody jumps on board all at the same time, we'll run out of copper, cobalt, lithium and other mineral resources. Our grid will be taxed beyond its already fragile limits. We'll also have to turn a blind eye to unfair labor practices in China and, for instance, Congo.
People know it's better to burn less and burn cleaner. People all over the world are working on every imaginable aspect of this, and sharing their knowledge with others for clicks and good feelings. I wish the government would just get out of the way. I think we'd de-centralize in a hurry if people didn't resort to force to push things the way THEY want them.
