The point isn't to be invincible. If you have a diversity of cars, any one kind of embargo will only harm a portion of your car market. If you mandate only one type of car, then an embargo can completely stop your ability to make new cars.

Again, if there was an embargo how would all the people who have gas cars suddenly get evs? It would take decades.

There will be some EVs in that scenario. Enough to tide things over. But in a world with only one option, anything that blocks that one option will destroy the whole car industry.

Oil blockades stop the fuel for existing cars. Lithium or whatever blockades stop new car or repairs of EVs.

That means people could still drive EVs even if there is an embargo because we'll always have power.

But oil blockades won't stop the production of new ICE cars. A battery-related blockage will stop new car production. That would be a big crisis for automakers.

So now your concern is for a specific set of businesses not people in general?

Again, the point is to not ban any kind of car as a redundancy. You've created an elaborate narrative of what you suppose your opponent is claiming. It is time to stop.
