That is simply impossible. We won't have the manufacturing capacity to produce that many electric cars in 3 years.

Stellantis (Opel/Citroen/Fiat/...) will be all electric by 2026: https://insideevs.com/news/570731/stellantis-electric-europe... Volvo will by all electric by 2030: https://www.autoserviceprofessional.com/articles/8910-volvo-... Mercedes will be all electric by 2030: https://electrek.co/2021/07/22/mercedes-benz-go-all-electric... Volkswagen is converting three factories (Emden, Chattanooga, Hanover) to build electric vehicles this year alone. Ford will be selling 600000 EVs/year in Europe by 2026 (https://cleantechnica.com/2022/03/14/ford-plans-9-electric-c...)

There is a lot of capacity going online.

That first article is incorrect. Look at the source. Even the picture they include contradicts the headline, saying "there will be a battery OPTION by 2024 for all models". Great, but far from majority electric by 2025.

"Stellantis has announced its commitment to sell only electric vehicles in Europe from 2026, following in the footsteps of several other manufacturers that revealed similar moves."

So an option in 2024 and all electric by 2026. What is incorrect in this article? If they stop selling combustion cars in 2026 they will start phasing out much earlier.
