Look what's happening to car manufacturers. They're becoming "mobility" companies.
They aren't switching to EV because they want to, it makes no sense for them as businesses, in multiple ways. An EV is a commodity vehicle - that's why Apple can build a car without a hundred year history of auto building.
The car makers are being forced to do this by policy regulators. The government is essentially managing the auto industry now to force their outcome.
