There's also nothing stopping the big three from making EVs.

And making more than the minimum the government requires them to make for quota. Demand is even there now, so there's no excuse other than the bottom line, plus a bit of cooperation with the oil companies.

So I keep hearing people say:

“Just wait until the big players get into the game, then I’ll buy a good car”.

Imo the big players don’t deserve to survive this transition. They had their opportunity to spearhead it but instead literally chose to be on the wrong side of history.

Nothing stopping big players but greed to get into the EV game.

Yeah but it's cheaper to just kill the competition than expand into a whole new sector.
