We’re hardly operating in a free market; ridiculous subsidies for anything considered, “green”, which EV’s most certainly are not, and intense government pressure on auto makers to do away with all ICE vehicles, including through tailpipe/vehicle emissions standards.
I agree 100%. What I'm saying is, in some ways we take the bait when we argue back in the way that they have already framed the argument, which is ICE vs EV. Instead of us saying, "ICE is the answer, EV's suck", what we should say is government has no business making the decision anyway. Let free American citizens decide what they want. THAT is the argument we should always be trying to win.
