VW are a part of that side that lobbied to delay as much as possible too in fact, they were trying to hold on to their diesel designs for as long as humanly possible and only made their first serious EV in 2020, literally a decade after Nissan and after every other major manufacturer except for Subaru, Mazda and Toyota who still hopes hydrogen will be something.

Them preaching about EVs has to be some guiness world record for hypocrisy.
