The problem is the push of legislators especially in the EU incl. the UK for electrification particularly within a very tight timescale.
Manufacturers are rushing towards meeting this goal and they have become confused. What is distorting matters more is the marketing effort to present EVs as a continuation of their desirable "normal" cars. A good example is the marketing campaign by Porsche to promote the Taycan as a most desirable performance car on par with the performance legends of the marque.
Formula E motorsport is also a joke. It's a good thing Audi and BMW are leaving this charade.
The EV legislation is going to hurt mostly the premium brands which have relied on heritage, charismatic performance cars and on real Motorsport. If Renault, Peugeot or FIAT electrify no one will notice the difference or care enough but if Porsche or AMG or BMW M do the same, customers will eventually abandon. After all an electric motor is no more than an electric motor without any fascination or atraction. The allure of the various gearboxes will be equally gone. Porsche want us to be excited about their 2-gear Taycan 
We've had Petrolheads for years worshiping the various types of engines and their characterisitcs and sounds. I don't think we'll have Electricityhead in future. The car will become a mere appliance comparable to the refrigerator or to the electric toothbrush. The heritage of the successful manufacturers of yesterday will eventually be wiped out. See how Porsche are struggling to overcome Tesla.
EVs will not reduce the overall pollution on the planet. The burden of pollution will just shift to other locations where the extra electric power will have to be generated. Besides, there are countries outside what we call "The West" which due to their limited wealth and/or huge geographical size will be unwilling and/or unable to electrify. I am sure China will oblige by satisfying this demand for ICE cars. And air pollution as we know cannot be held stationary.
God Bless the Internal Combustion Engine fueled by petrol.
