I wonder why the joint world’s largest ICE maker would argue against a technology they haven’t developed to the same standard as nearly every one of their competitors. Weird. Surely he’s only thinking of the environmental consequences and shared material constraints of manufacturing so many vehicles. Couldn’t be that they planned for a slower adoption and the pandemic accelerated the curve and now they’ve fallen behind. Couldn’t be that they failed to secure critical contracts thinking that this attempt at scaling would fall short and then they could pick up those same contracts later for cheap.
