It takes years to design a new car model. It’s quite a risk to bet on combustion engines at this point.
While the world wide adoption of EVs is only about 20% of all new car sales (for personal cars), the statistics for countries that were early adopters shows that this figure doesn’t just increase, it accelerates when it comes over 1%, which it is almost everywhere.
So, it might seem reasonable to bet on the type of car that sells 80% on the market now, but that market is going to look very difficult by the time the cars are ready for production. Consumers have spoken: They want to buy EVs.
You are explaining something everybody with 2+ working brain cells knows. But the company bosses only caring for the next bottom line and their bonus don’t give a fuck, and neither do the populists.
Because the former don’t care about anything but their personal short term gain before moving on, and the latter basically operate on letting everything go to shit intentionally to then blame some scapegoat for it.

EVs are extremely modular, it takes a lot less time to design them because they are inherently simple.
