The car industry didnt expect batteries to improve as much and get as much cheaper as they did. Combustion is mechanically very complicated, lots of things that can go wrong and moving parts that needs maintenance.

Fossil fuels can be used to create hydrogen, so fossil lobby prefer it if the status quo needs to change at all, and it is a badly kept secret. So for that reason there is no real push from governments as a co2-solution either.

People that get electric cars go from range anxiety, to fully-charge-every-morning-calamity. Nobody really wants to go buy fuel again once they tried plugging in over night.
