This is the kind of take I would expect from corporations trying to maximize sales of both electric and gas vehicles. Zero interest in actually addressing climate change, just bare minimum posturing.

EQ is earthquake. According to USGS, California faces a ~75% chance of a major earthquake in the next 100 years.

Have a quick google of "California quake risk" for a slew of in-depth (and somewhat scary) articles and research papers.

I would have thought California EQ was the peril scaring them all away. Very expensive to reinsure - most commercial property catasrophy models (RMS & AIR are the big ones) peg it as the second most risky North American peril after Florida Hurricane.
