Even if they are better, what percentage of American's can afford an EV?? Unless you live and work in very affluent parts of the country (NY, Boston, Cape Cod, the Hamptons, Washington DC, LA, Seattle, and apparently the Villages) the vast majority of people can't buy one.

But if the threat of climate change is truly existential, the government should use our tax dollars to buy one for every American that wants one. If we are all going to die within 10 years unless we all drive EVs, buying one for every American seems like a bargain. We can print the money and worry about paying it back later.
