At a certain point it won't matter. CAFE regulations plus the global auto market will be a major factor.
Also consider R&D funding. Manufacturers aren't going to be spending as much on engine technologies so developments will stall out.
I'd love to think that HV's will catch on, but I believe BEV sales equalled HV sales last year.

That’s why I brought up politics as best I could. I think that is slowing us down right now. Not only the infrastructure but the fact there’s so much oil money in politics. Both foreign and domestic.
I think we also need a government trade in program for vehicles if we want to speed up the transition to all electric. We are also going to need lower interest loans for low income families. We also need to develop a longer lasting power source for vehicles and plans for large scale disposal of non recyclable parts. There’s a lot to do on a local scale for each country.
