Are OEMs moving too slowly on EVs?

Sales of electric cars are growing rapidly in many markets. Globally, they set a new record at 6.6 million units in 2021, according to the International Energy Agency. That’s nearly double the previous year’s figure, despite supply chain bottlenecks and COVID complications. But could this growth be faster? Many believe it could and should be, and blame the automakers for prioritising easy profits from internal combustion engines (ICE) over environmental responsibilities.
