In the near term (1-3 years), no role in a traditional oems has incentives to make evs.

dealers make money from maintenance. evs have less maintence.

car salesmen are trained to negotiate, not educate consumers about evs.

factory workers/unions: evs require less factory workers.

many engineers have the wrong skills for evs.

executives also have the wrong skills. they are trained to negotiate with suppliers and focus on core competency. core competency changes from manufacturing engines to battery and electric drive train. innovation may require insourcing if suppliers fail.

investors want dividends and not to speculate on evs.

imho, it makes more sense for startups and tech companies to make evs.
