Can and will is two different things.
I think the consumer here got the short end of the stick.
Later this year, it will launch in Europe as the Dolphin Surf, with expected prices starting under £20,000 ($26,000)

Perhaps a combination of many factors. Anti-EV lobbying being one.
Transitioning from ICE to EV production will result in job redundancy in the manufacturing and assembly of engine, gearbox, exhaust, and other ICE-specific components. This could lead to mass layoffs, which would have severe political and economic implications .
Additionally there is a significant technological gap between legacy ICE manufacturers and EV manufactures to the point that legacy auto may never bridge the gap and will always be a step behind new EV manufacturers. Which may lead the whole industry and even the country to be hesitant to switch.

Other areas of note are the United Kingdom, which saw a roughly 17 per cent increase year-to-date.
