If there was a suitably compelling electric vehicle for everyone, would the ICE market go to zero? Sure-very little of the market wants cars that burn gas for the sake of burning gas. But, that's not a useful observation.

Other than CO2, what pollution?
>I would be surprised beyond belief if these manufacturers were not getting pressure from the oil industry to only do the minimum when offering EV models.
The oil industry also produces the feedstock for generating the electricity used to charge the electric cars. "Journalist discovers Tesla charging station with a discretely-hidden diesel genset nearby" is practically a meme at this point.
