I think most people are misreading the intentions of these government dictates. It's not about electric cars versus gasoline-powered cars. It's about forcing people to give up driving cars. Only a small sector of the population will be allowed to drive cars. Everyone else will be forced to restrict their movements and must use public transportation, or use bicycles.
The more the left describes its utopia, the more it looks like the setting for Logan's Run. Young people will live in high density cities run by computers, with a hyperloop rail connecting the cities. The rest of the country will be abandoned. (Don't mention the death panels)
