EV movement to the forefront was orchestrated by the government, not the companies, but they then said “we have started investments of X billion dollars into EV.” Sudden change of heart.
So the most important point here is: when was the last time the DC and urban Dem governments on the coasts cared a whit about the flyover country yokels in the other states? Never.
The whole EV movement stems from 1) clean air in cities and 2) curtailing mythical manmade climate change with a mythical solution.
#1 came first and had some genuine basis in fact. But ICE engines have gotten so clean that there is little remaining benefit to be had by changing from ICE to EV.
#2 came later when #1 was sputtering. But, from an overall systems analysis, #2 fails.
We can boycott EVs. Democrats will still buy them though. So that’s half of the population.
