Unless some of these countries ban sales of new ICE, which leaves them without a choice. But I'm not taking this article seriously because there is no quote of reference, it's hearsay

A quick Google search shows the news across numerous outlets. Few of them reference the source, but this news comes from the latest Kawasaki Business Policy Briefing recently released by Kawasaki. You can find that briefing here. Page 16 specifically states their goal to be all electric by 2035.

https://global.kawasaki.com/news_211006-1e.pdf Thank you for this link Whoops. It's an interesting read, something of a political campaign promises type of a document, some real stuff, some virtue signaling, but all in all set the necessary goals and vision for future.
Page 16 in this specific case it doesn't state going "all electric". It says BEV/HEV with all "major models for developed countries". Keywords "HEV" - Hybrid Electric Vehicles, which by definition include an ICE. And "major" - meaning in this context - not all. So things get taken out of context for journalistic sensationalism. They also say they will introduce "at least 10 models by 2025, which is a short 4 years away, an depending on those, imo, we will have a better indication of feasibility of going electric with all major models by 2035.
