I think the big problem is securing battery manufacturing. Taking 1% of the market is the easy bit. Expanding battery production at the scale you need to convert your entire lineup to BEV's? That's a huge challenge, and probably a good reason why many companies will continue to develop more efficient ICE's. They'll really have to decide which vehicles are the best ones to alot limited battery resources to.

You look at the Ford Lighting, and it's OK, but it's no replacement for an ICE if you need to haul a trailer, or drive significant distances. These problems aren't solved yet.
