Exactly what pressure is being applied to you to buy an EV? You can buy whatever you want today and well into the future. EVs are another option. Gas cars will continue to be made for at least another 15 years, maybe more.

The financial pressure being applied to everyday citizens to convert to evs now is ridiculous when in all reality, this conversion could make the pollution problems much worse. Throw the baby out with the bath water! Why not develop a twenty year plan? Most people will have converted before that, the grid may be able to handle it and the kinks would be much fewer.
