You can claim this is radical, but I suspect the auto manufacturers won't be building ICE cars by 2035 anyway.
EV cars are simply WAY cheaper to build than ICE cars. For example, GM quit manufacturing the Volt because the Bolt is stupidly cheaper to manufacture.
Given the current trends with people not buying cars anyway, this is effectively inevitable.
