This is a binary calculation (ICE and EV) not including hybrids. But hybrids don't count as much as an EV, so just plug in a couple hybrids for an EV and it gets pretty close.
So if you think about this in terms of the market, the OEMs are all going to get rid of everything gas powered that does not rake in truck-like profits. They need to sell everything EV to keep the truck gravy train going - and they still need to sell some EV truck too. So there is no room for a gas powered Taurus or Malibu, when it doesn't support selling what is most profitable - full size truck and SUV.

And if things go the way we need them to go in November, those EV regulations will be rolled back significantly or eliminated completely.
Then what?
