The biggest problem is, countries around the world are starting to ban sales of new ICE cars. Off the top of my head, the sales ban comes into play in 2030 for Germany, Sweden, and UK. California is aiming for the same thing in 2035. Canada is aiming at the same for 2040.

10 - 15 years is really not a very long time in terms of automobile manufacturers' product life cycle / time lines. And you don't really master that expertise in a generation or two.

And then what are you going to do once the ICE sales ban comes in?
