Another perspective on a BEV transition:

The world has a strange infatuation with cars. That is part of the reason why the electric car has become the poster child for the fight against climate change, despite its rather limited potential to avoid CO2 emissions.

Behind the rapid growth in battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales lie a wide range of supporting policies. And behind these policies are governments that want to tap every last bit of marketing value from this highly visible climate action poster child. This is why pure BEV companies are now worth as much as the entire legacy auto industry, even though these companies (mainly Tesla) sell only about 1% of global light-duty vehicles.

Looks like a collection of wrong facts, links that don't support statements, dubious assumptions and untrustable conclusions.

though these companies (mainly Tesla) sell only about 1% of global light-duty vehicles.

Tesla, while dominating the USA market, has well less than a 50% global share. BYD has larger sales by units.

EV market share is about 4%

And so on and so on. It might be interesting to discuss conclusions... but there is hardly any point as the facts are mostly wrong.
