What are you even trying to argue here.
It certainly doesn't appear to reflect reality. There's an increasing proportion of the market coming from non-ICE vehicles.

The US is showing a similar trend. As is the EU and China.
In Norway the majority > 80% of their new vehicles are EV's of some form.

Pretty clear that a range of Governments around the world are accelerating the move with legislation, taxes, R&D funding, subsidies, etc. That's one of the reasons that some are pushing back at EVs.

Gee, Sounds pretty woke. Or DEI.
Sorry, I'm fumbling for the approved terminology here
I'm assuming all those small government no subsidy Trump voting farmers in the mid-west will turn down subsidies for their farms.
Id rather the copper wires.

Copper is outdated internet technology.
If you're streaming 4K you either don't have full copper, or you're insanely lucky with your ADSL speeds.

. I'd rather copper than wireless was my point. BUT fibre is king.
People who buy cars.
Exactly, if companies (or even govts.) try and 'force' market direction there'll be pushback. The market WILL! adopt EV's and by extension renewables.
No need to 'exert force' to accelerate it, it will accelerate on its own when the market is ready.

You made no real point, and ignored all the commentary on the topic.

If there was no government intervention there would be very few EVs if any.
It isn't market forces that is phasing out fossil fuels. Just like it wasn't market forces that got rid of CFCs.
Occasionally, humans come to together and agree to do/not to do things for the betterment of the planet, and that involves government intervention.

To the tune of $14.5b... don't think EVs are attracting anywhere near that.
Does the fossil fuel industry really receive $10b in federal subsidies a year?
Greens Leader Adam Bandt says the fossil fuel industry receives $10 billion in federal subsidies per year. RMIT ABC Fact Check runs the numbers.

You are just listing politicians. All politicians are bumbling idiots.
Well except for obama. But other then that pretty much all of them.
Governments need to help with the infrastructure.
No one would buy petrol cars if the government didnt build roads.
Wrong.
The point I made is that companies and or govts. can't or shouldn't force market direction.
I made that point clear in the original post from myself in that discussion.
