Those are reasons people don't want to buy EVs, not reasons for companies to sabotage the change over.

Companies give zero fucks about anything but money.

Completely retooling for EVs is expensive with a lot of risk. And they'll make less money afterwards...

People not wanting to buy them seems like an entirely normal reason to be lukewarm.about making and selling them.

Not at 60,000 dollars they don't. But too bad, between the IRA and the Chinese EV tax the administration is making sure we aren't ever burdened with EVs cheap enough for mass adoption.
