- marcosdumay 5y agoEvery car manufacturer was fighting it for decades. They did things like lobbying against electric cars, and pushing vaporware to stop change every time. When they gave-up to demand and created some electric car, they would always make it flawed in every possible way so it doesn't compete with the money-makers of the day. Car manufacturing is a highly oligopolistic market, with almost impossible barriers to entry. If somebody irrational enough to push it didn't appear, those manufacturers would have their way for as long as they wanted.
