    If you’re hopeful.

    I don’t see civilization making it to 100% EV adoption before western society collapses. America might still be buying and producing ICE cars in 30 years, or they might be producing nothing but dirt while the world leaves them behind.

        If Honda wants to make plane engines, generators and boat motors forever, I don’t see why they can’t scale back and do exactly that. ICE cars will go the way of the dodo, if we don’t all murder eachother first, but ICE will still exist in areas that there is no replacement.

      Quite a lot of the world (including the EU and UK) is committed to banning ICE cars entirely within the next 10 years. Honda simply can’t survive selling exclusively ICE cars to the US and a few fringe markets; either they’re a global player or they’ll disappear.

      Obviously if a global apocalypse wipes us all out then none of this matters, but that’s true of everything. It makes commenting on the news in general a bit redundant.
