I don't want them to "replace the 300 million ICE cars in America alone". I can't stand the Dims' forcing EV's and green energy.

That being said, I like it as an individual choice. If EV's keep improving and keep coming down in price I might replace one of my two gas cars with an EV. In some ways an EV has advantages and in other ways a gas car has advantages. Plus my wife and I have talked about it and think we'd like diversification in energy options. Basically, if gasoline is sky high we'd shift most of our driving to the EV, and if electricity is sky high we'd shift to gas (but use both cars on the days we drive on separate chores for the day).

Then combine that with if you've installed solar onto your house because you happen to be in an ideal situation for it (which I have done), then there are some days in which my solar gives me more power than I need. It'd be nice to direct the excess power to charging an EV for "free".
