IMO, with the possible exception of classic all-BEV companies like Tesla, Rivian, Fisker, and Lucid, NOBODY is making the right choice going all-electric. Right now, the government is driving the change (no pun intended), but, IMO, that will change in the future as millions of people across the country rebel at the polls.

I've read this several times not sure I can make sense of it. If a fully EV company like Tesla is seeing massive growth why would legacy auto makers not want to enter said rapidly expanding market segment?

Polls will change nothing as the movement to EV's is global, and the U.S. is becoming more and more irrelevant as China and Europe become the centers of vehicle sales.

The issue here is that the ICE market, despite's Tesla's success, is not going to go away unless the government forces it to do so, which, IMO, the public will not allow. To discuss the details further would probably get us too deeply into politics, so I'll leave to at that.

I get the feeling nothing will convince you that people want EVs simply because they want EVs not because government policy is forcing people to buy them. Tesla sales grew 87% in 2021 without any government incentives Toyota can no longer ignore this.

I never said that people didn't want EVs......many obviously do, independent of government action or inaction. But many more people don't want EVs, simply because they live in conditions where it is difficult or unfeasible to have (or get) recharging outlets. For them, a hybrid or Extended-Range hybrid would make far more sense. I would consider a hybrid myself, particularly if GM makes the system optional for the Encore GX.

If we freeze time so the market forever stays exactly as is it today then yes what you are saying is true.
It's fascinating watching innovator's dilemma being played out right before our eyes. No matter the outcome, it will be a classic business case for future generations.
