The jump from 20,000 to 2 million units can't be explained by production capacity alone.

"Anchor market" is really just subsidy-driven demand creation — whether it's self-sustaining is another question.

2 million units is an ambitious target — seeding demand with government fleet buys makes sense.

Multi-year contracts from state enterprises would genuinely help underpin demand.
