This happened a century ago. People were experimenting with different means to power vehicles.

The power brokers of the world got behind gasoline and pushed it to the exclusion of all other technologies. This stopped the development of alternate modes of transportation.

Politicians of today have the same myopic vision. The leaders want to push EVs from megafactories to the exclusion of all other vehicles.

BTW, I am hoping that the Aptera will succeed. It's claim to fame is that it is the most aerodynamic car in development.
