As I said, if there are EV equivalents to ICE affordable sports coupes/sedans/hatchbacks, then EV's would have a case and we can let free market decide. Problem is the market will not provide them until at least 2030, if even. However, government regulation may force us out of ICE sports vehicles before 2035, by various means mentioned by other posters here. And we will have to get one of these EV econoboxes instead of comparable ICE luxury sedan or sports cars.
I know one of the guys who broke the “Mustang going EV in ‘28” story. He traded his Chevy SS for a Tesla Model 3 Performance because...faster. Only one data point, but a really interesting data point.
