My opinion mirrors @Professor Fate 's. Automakers don't know what's on the horizon with regulations and customer demands. Realistically it'll take a lot longer to go "full EV" than governments and climate loonies want us to (who, big surprise, have little to no actual technical knowledge and expertise). It's become a huge issue on LinkedIn, it's gotten really bad with EV zealots (usually with a sales, marketing etc. background) claiming it'll save the world and the actual engineers and scientists doing their best to call out the bullshit and explain the realities of not only EV adoption but emissions and environmental efforts overall.
They may put the peak where they want, but the actual amount of torque at said peak will still be proportionate to displacement.
