China has already hit 50%+ new sales of plugin electric and plugin hybrid. The sticker price of electric cars has almost reached parity with ice even without any kind of subsidy then fuel savings are an additional bonus. Japan and other legacy car manufacturers have an extremely limited time left to catch up but they and their governments dragging their feet trying to protect an industry that is about to crash.

This is very clear for vehicles available in both electric and IC.[1] That premium has been decreasing rapidly. There's now a glut of used Teslas. In the commercial sector, though, the Ford Transit is slightly cheaper in electric than in IC.[2] [1] https://www.caranddriver.com/ford/f-150-lightning https://www.caranddriver.com/ford/f-150-lightning [2] https://www.caranddriver.com/ford/e-transit https://www.caranddriver.com/ford/e-transit
