Therefore, the "they" who will "ban" gasoline powered vehicles are the automakers. "They" will fight for market share/dominance that could require, due to market forces, the slow elimination of gasoline-powered vehicles--UNLESS gasoline-powered vehicles generate sufficient profits to allow them to be continued in production.

Follow the money. Always.
