All that obsession with the BEV-only approach sounds quite troublesome, even though it's possible to get rid of reciprocating engines as long as hybrids increase their overall market share. Would be quite interesting to say the least if some scaled-down turboshaft engine makes its way into some Volvo, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, whatever, as long as it's coupled to either a proper CVT (which is better suited to the fixed-speed nature of gas turbines) or a so-called e-CVT similar to Toyota's HSD.
