The only two legacy auto firms that might have had a chance is Volvo (which is Chinese owned, so insulated somewhat) and Nissan/Renault. Nissan dropped the ball with the Leaf, had they done a proper refresh in 2018 rather than just ditching the two worst batteries and worst motor and new bodywork they wouldn't need to merge with Honda to survive. We would probably have a £20K Nissan Micra EV 3/4 years ago. Renault had a major hickup due to the Russian issue, but the Scenic and Renault 5 EV prove that they are on the right track if they can stay afloat
