Volkswagen just put a significant investment into Rivian so the answer is NO.

And there will be more who assumed the public is as stupid as our politicians.

2nd Gear
Automakers are already starting to push back against EV’s. They were forced by governments to head in that direction. They all realize that it’s not possible to achieve. There is not enough electricity in the world to supply the needed amount. California has had “brown outs” (not enough electricity) for years. Residents have to turn down their home air conditioning during these times. How is replacing millions of ICE engines with EV’s going to help?

If you are the Governor of my state (California), no they don't. They are so beholden to the "green lobby" that economics don't even enter into the equation. How are families living on the edge of poverty supposed to support this green dream? It will be interesting to see what happens when (not if) Newsom runs for President. All of his fiscal and regulatory disasters that have hobbled our state will be exposed to the rest of the country. I'm betting he won't get far. Here is the latest from our pretty Ken doll:
