Yes and no. I agree with you that the Dims are wrong in saying that EV's are a full replacement for gas cars in all situations and on all trips in all climates, etc.
But I disagree because I believe that there are some use cases for an EV to be practical even in a free market with no govt incentives or mandates. They're certainly not for everyone. And even though my wife and I do most of our driving in our EV to get tons of gas savings, we still like having a gas pickup for pickup chores and for the times an EV won't do.
But I wouldn't get an EV as an only car, or if I couldn't set up home charging, or if I didn't drive enough home charged miles to get enough gas savings to be worth it.
