But you see countries like Norway (where almost all new car sales are EV) are inspiring other governments to put regulation in place without proper planning. I'm not arguing a position on that.

I'm saying, there have been some recently great new EV products (Hyundai Ioniq 5 and BMW iX come to mind) that are just better in almost all facets than their ICE counterparts. So I personally have alot of optimism for EV sport cars. Porsche for example, has a target weight to keep the 718 EV under 3650 pounds and the Mission R is 3300 pounds. With the instant torque and weight distribution of an EV, that could be a really exciting car. BMW M seems to also have a focus on producing some exciting products in this space.
Pretty excited as well! I’m loving my current M lineup now, but, I anticipate that M will make awesome ev products; shit we don’t even know we want until we see them.
