They will simply tax gas up the wazzoo, and force gas station owners to comply. Many will stop providing gas, so with fewer gas stations, lines will be impossibly long. Then insurance companies will raise rates on ICE vehicles. So basically they will squeeze people into getting EVs.
I’ve been checking out a horse.
I can’t afford a $50K EV and I am too scared to buy a new or slightly uses ICE vehicle due to crazy talk of outlawing them. So my personal fleet of ICE cars will age. So be it.
Most people can't afford an EV. Nor can the supply of electricity in the country accommodate everyone having an EV. What they're really trying to do is squeeze the middle class out of their own personal transportation and onto mass transit. The personal transportation in the form of an EV will only be for the rich (and well connected).
