I find it challenging when people fall back on the "well EV's are only 2% of production today" while ignoring the *growth* of doubling every year. That means 2% today. 4% in 2022, 8% in 2023, 16% in 2024, 32% in 2025, 64% in 2026 and DONE by 2027. If today's growth rate remains constant.
It wont, but things can grow pretty fast if allowed to.
