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.

What brief time line would that be? Yours? I have said, and no one has disputed, that to replace the 300,000,000 ICE vehicles on the road and provide the infrastructure to support the TVs will take at least 30 years.
If by brief timeline you mean to get started, well, that can happen today. Or we could put it off until it is perfect - meaning forever.
And cost, everyones favorite whipping boy is Tesla, and claims of $70K, not many mention Chevy Bolt EUV around $38K. Seems to me, when you consider the cost of maintenance on an ICE the Chevy is about 1/2 the cost or less of the ICE competition.
