It doesn't sound like they have the EVs or charging infrastructure to do much with EVs:

Sounds like a year ago, there were about three times that, so maybe up to 0.12%.

So in addition to the financial losses, I assume that's going to cause logistical problems.
EDIT: It also doesn't sound like there are a whole lot of diesel vehicles, though more than EVs. I understand that diesel is presently less constrained than gasoline.
