Bear with me. Being an old fogey like Sandy Munro I remember a time when Japanese cars were laughed at in the only for sales to soar as the 70s progressed I believe we face the same situation with Chinese EVs today - admittedly trucks may take them longer. This is going to put huge pressure...

I think John has made several major errors. #1, I see no evidence that he understands what an 'S' curve is and what that means in terms of BEV sales growth potential. The fact that current sales are 2% is irrelevant if we are in a S curve environment. #2, The exact arguments he makes about...
