An EV might not fit your driving needs. Someone who needs to carry hay bales or building supplies might feel a Honda, Toyota, or Lexus does not fit their needs. Recognize that your criticism of EVs is "I don't believe they fit what I want to do" and not "they are not technologically viable."
People don't want to feel anything is being shoved down their throats. Even when, like now, nothing at all is being shoved down their throat. *Maybe* more than ten years from now in *some* states it will not be possible to buy an ICE vehicle. *If* that actually happens then eight or nine years from there will be a buying spree. But, given the advancements made in the last ten years, I suspect that by the time those rules come into play it will be so common to own an EV that the rules will no longer be necessary.

To be honest, I hope EVs never hit full throttle. The infrastructure mess alone that will be created to be cleaned up when the fusion engine is developed will be polluting in itself.
Id like to know how you feel enough electricity to operate EVERYTHING in our lives will be created. Wind turbines aren’t totally reliable, sunshine in this country won’t be enough unless you think every square mile should be covered in solar grids which can be wiped out in severe swathes of weather, hydropower is limited to certain areas…
