well those mandates aren't doing much:

i agree the comptetion between established players is required and hopefully leads to solutions to the main problem keeping many people in ICE over EV: range

That's a bit disingenuous. Without those mandates there would be a lot less auto manufacturers with EV models. CA has jump started the EV industry with those mandates. Could there be more EV owners? Sure, but this is still a huge improvement.

are you claiming Volkswagen is in the ev game because of california?
