~~"Going out of business"~~
"Leaving the EV business"
The point is that both those statements are the same thing.
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.
With 100% as the target I agree. However I see America at somewhere around 90% EVs in the near future - hard to ignore how much cheaper charging at home is, and charging infrastructure is getting to where a road trip is not a big deal (it is still a deal - while you can make most trips often it means stopping where there is a charger just to be sure instead of stopping when the gauge gets to empty, but every year this changes a little)
For a few trips to remote areas the ability to put a few extra gas cans in the back and get a lot more range is important. For everything else though EVs are so much cheaper they will take over.
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.
