A rep’s comment from 2014 is hardly evidence in 2019 that would make such a
criticism fair.

IMO, the brightest future of production EVs is in Western Europe and Asia. In Europe, 4 nations have already stated that they plan to reduce, restrict, or eliminate ICEVs in favor of EVs by 2025, 2030, or 2040. Some have fairly aggressive subsidy or incentive programs. (Certain oil-wealthy people in the US don't approve of our EV tax credit. Anybody want to place a bet on how much longer it'll last?) China has announced a future ICEV ban, though I don't think they've set a deadline; someone please correct me if that's wrong. China is the elephant in the GM boardroom, an emerging vehicle market growth area for them and all the other major automakers. For better or worse, unlike CARB in the 1990s, China's government doesn't blink. You do it their way, or you don't do business in China. So China and part of Europe will most likely require EVs. Last I heard, California might; maybe someone who's been following that can update me. Or maybe congress or the EPA will smack CARB down, take away their legal right to require stricter emissions standards. The automakers will build EVs for EV markets. If we're lucky, the rest of us will get what's left over, unless they can sell it more profitably elsewhere. That's probably not all bad, though. It might open the gates to serious competition from second- and third-tier automakers. The fuel crunch of the early 1970s gave Japanese automakers and their small, high-MPG cars a solid foothold in the US. This time, maybe we'll get to see what Chinese and/or Indian automakers can do with EVs.
