What I find puzzling is that around 10 years ago Audi and VW committed fully to electric vehicles, investing $100 billion(?). So why do people now claim they missed the boat on EV development?

- Because 10y ago was already too late.

- Because they can invest and still fail.

- Because a press release and actual money spent on reasearch are two very different things.
