Oh, if you include the complete supply chain in the “car industry” there are surely some people who want to desperately stick with combustion engines for lack of another perspective.
But those don’t justify the massive amount of political and media coverage that always pretends (quite explicitly even) that it’s the big producers (thus employers) speaking and not some small “we produce a few parts for the manual transmission exclusively” - or “we are the leading supplier for fuel pumps”-companies that are complaining.
Given the last ICE German Car I bought (BMW) caught fire after 2 years while I was driving it and their only answer has been “shit happens, fuck you”, I’d say it’s only good if they get fucked by the market moving to EVs and maybe learn to put their customers at the center of their strategy again instead of focusing purely on getting as much public funds as possibile to keep producing shit
