That doesn't correspond with the practical realities. Here are some battery electrics that will be released across the next two years, some of which are already available:

Look at what a company like Hyundai is doing. Hyundai produces hydrogen fuel cell cars:

Hyundai (with Kia) produces EV versions of the Hyundai Kona and the Kia Niro, two battery electrics with good range at a more affordable price than the luxury EVs:

Hyundai also has plans for on-car solar:

I don't think any of this adds up to them hating EVs. Hyundai is ahead of most companies on the road to the practical, affordable EV.
