There's so much fanboyism around EVs, I think that EV proponents seriously overestimate their appeal and impact. To must of us a car is just a car, not some statement to the world about my alignment with the right causes and the cool kids. It seems like a highly emotional topic for those that are proponents, not a good sign. The automakers, not wanting to be left out, jumped in once it became clear that EVs were kinda workable. You can't blame them, they have to follow the market. I'm sure they had internal doubters, but you have to see plans through just in case. I'd argue investment in EVs is just a hedge for at least half of the automakers. Outside of a few diehards proponents, no one I know is particularly interested in owning an EV. EV proponents can't stop talking about how world changing and life affirming they are. I'm sure that's where part of the lack of interest stems from.
