I saw this poll today that supports your position

Most Americans Don’t Want Electric Cars

Friday, October 01, 2021

Despite all the talk about “green” technology as a way to fight climate change, most Americans don’t think electric vehicles are practical now and don’t expect them to replace gasoline-powered cars soon.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that only 25% of American Adults believe electric cars today are practical for most drivers. Fifty-two percent (52%) think electric cars aren’t practical, while 23% say they’re not sure. That’s not much of an improvement from a 2013 survey that found 19% believed electric cars were practical.
