Pretty much this.

Car companies can go fully electric if they want, but people have no obligation to buy them if they don't want, or can't have, an electric car, they'll just go to a competitor.

As simple as that .

It isn’t.

 

Because we also need charging infrastructure. And a tax regime that takes electric cars into account. And a way of dealing with all the scrapped vehicles. And an understanding that we aren’t the only country in the world.
 

Nissan are just the first.  Just watch.

Let a business do as it wants . If it is successful good , if not , not so good .

Does a Nissan Snooker Sunak try to go forwards, backwards and sideways all at the same time?

Ah, that old chestnut.

 

That’s fine until it is a bank, or an insurance company that fails, or there’s a pandemic. 
 

Then we all get all socialist, don’t we

Ok , Let a car manufacture make whatever type of car they want . What's the problem with that ?

The problem Is that petrol/diesel cars are dreadful for the environment. In much the same way that we are phasing out smoking, we need to phase out fossil fuel cars.

 

That requires the government and the car manufacturers to work together to do the right thing.

In the UK, it seems that the car manufacturers are willing, but the government are too focussed on scrambling a few votes from pensioners to look at things rationally.
