Seems like everything he mentioned is either not an issue or as much of an issue, or it won’t be an issue in the future when it matters.

That's all well and good until they find some weed that only grows on top of a pile of lithium and the company isn't able to mine it.

That's America with everything. We have a lot of lawyers and a lot of bureaucracy in the land of the free. No one wants it in their backyard, including pipelines, fracking, etc. In the end, it'll be the economics and the lesser of two evils that will win out.

1. We could largely reduce CO2 emissions by replacing old cars with modern mild hybrids instead of EVs 2. On the other hand, we're actively pushing the sale of Jeeps and Rams across the globe. I doubt those emit less CO2 than a 20 years old Camry.. Oh and FCA "absorbs the 40% extra cost of EVs because they can't be passed on to the customer"? I didn't know they were a charity . And that basically implies they can take a strong hit to their margins and still turn a profit, i.e. ICE buyers are getting trounced |

Not really. companies do this all the time. You sell a lot of one thing, and not as many of another, but you spread the cost of everything over the entire product line. It's not unique to automakers.

It's somewhat unique when the government is forcing the huge shift, not capitalism.

They’re #3 on the EU BEV market, which in total represents about 2M cars per year. Taking a hit due to 40% higher costs on that market would be huge for them. Yet they’re posting record profitability at >14%. Something in M. Tavares’s interview is therefore fishy or at least bleeding heart. |

Well, there is that. I have no level of support for the government being in this business, but I think that ship has sailed, we can't put the Genie back in the bottle at this point.
