Thats' a big "if"...If they continue receiving numerous tax credit subsidies to purchase, IRA funds, California and other state mandates kept in place, (which will likely end), as part of the strategy. The "they" (taxpayer) invested billions into the strategy will soon end.

Continuing forward as is could end up being a losing strategy throwing good money after bad...

And what about the billions invested already that could be taken advantage of to produce ICE with easily attainable reduced emissions and CAFE requirements? Too much trouble I suppose to manufacture some variety. The OEM that offers more choice and sees the benefit of competition by offering ICE products will have the successful strategy.
