IMHO it's not a matter of readiness - most German automakers now have EV models that are very good, VW's ID.4 for example is excellent in my experience.
It's the fear that they won't make as much money as they are now, losing lines that probably will still be profitable in 2035. It's likely that 20-30% of the market will simply refuse to transition to EV, either for ideological or practical reasons; nobody wants to lose those customers.
- mytailorisrich 4y agoIt's not just a question of having models. Readiness means reaching production levels comparable to ICE models now. If they are against a ban in 2035 it obviously means that it's not good for them, which can only mean that they think they cannot make it, either in volume or price point, or both.
