They are not yet ready for long road trips to to range limitations and lack of charging infrastructure but that will change eventually. You guys seem to hate anything that is positive for the environment. Fortunately your generation will be dead soon and but your children will inherit the polluted dying planet you created.

One last point: All of our problems with terrorists, wars and the Middle East are caused by our interference in Middle Eastern affairs due to our need for oil. Eliminate the need for oil and thus eliminate our presence in the region and the problems related to the Middle East will be a thing of the past.
Certain states (and the Fed Gubmint) are most certainly mandating (forcing) you to buy EVs... (see California...)

EPA’s New Electric Vehicle Mandate: Too Far, Too Fast | NADA

"Will electric cars be mandatory in California?

Yes. California is only requiring that all NEW cars sold in 2035 and beyond are zero-emission vehicles which includes battery electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and fuel cell electric vehicles."
