No, because you have no leverage.

  Give it time. The leverage is inevitable.

    Maybe. At the risk of being argumentative: This top-down alarmism now has been going on for decades. Electric vehicles have close to zero market share, all considered (commercial and commuter unit of mass travelled). It could go away tonmorrow and the world wouldn't miss it. We're talking about today's and tomorrow's subsidies. Electric's supposed leverage, not assuming authoritarian market interference, isn't on the visible horizon.

      Again, depends on which timeframe you're operating on, of course. A solution to the "alarmism" will happen, whether that's EV's or not. And there was a time when the iphone was just 1% of the market ... And listen, I get it. I'm divided on EV's. On the one hand, I think they're necessary to help sustain our planet. All things equal, I'd advocate for them just to avoid pollution in our childrens lungs. That is 'alarming' enough to me not counting any concern for the impact of climate change. On the other hand, I get the love of proper cars and wouldn't want to give that up. For me the happy medium, is having basic, smart and comfotable, affordable EV's during the week (nothing as advanced as a Tesla, which I hope die out, they're complete overkill to what's needed and what we have capacity for). If the majority had this, then we could easily justify thrashing a V8 at the weekend and at the track to enjoy ourselves. To enjoy actual cars. Anyway ... just p1ssing in the wind.
