This answer would be the answer if it meant there was no demand for electric versions of these products, but there’s tons of demand. You can search “electric [insert product]” and see people clamouring for it and waitlists for the startups trying to break into the field with electric. The incumbents though, are asleep at the switch.

Perhaps from your perspective there is “tons of demand” due to what you read on the internet. Perhaps that amount of demand won’t move the needle at Ford, say, or another incumbent.
