EVs are tweaks though. Nobody buys ICE vehicles. They buy sedans, trucks, SUVs, etc. What the engine uses as an energy input doesn't matter and won't for another decade.
- Gibbon1 8y agoYou're thinking of classes of vehicles. Where what I'm referring to is major components, engines, transmissions, suspension, structural design. Those designs tend to be very long lived on the order of 15 to 30 years. Designing from scratch takes a long time and results in teething issues as the design flaws get worked out. The expense and time it takes stretches the ROI out. Tweaks involve modifying already well understood systems. Risk is limited, return on investment is quick. Allows you to keep making money.
