I mean we've already seen a big shift in the EU market, given the drive to decrease the fleet average to 95g CO2/km. This is why the VW Group is now launching EVs on a near monthly basis, why Mercedes-Benz has launched multiple EVs in the past year, why PSA has, etc.

If they want to hit their goals, and avoid fines in the EU market, they need to drastically reduce the CO2 emissions of the cars they're selling. And realistically to meet those targets they need to start shipping EVs is significant quantity, which means they can't be quirky different vehicles, they need to be mass-market ones.
