I don't understand why there needs to be a transition to full EV. There needs to remain enthusiast vehicles. Many automakers are just retooling existing platforms(less r&d) to extend the life of some of these vehicles. Hybrids are needed as well. Full EV transition is not feasible. It's not gonna be economical at the deadlines currently set out.

Some EVs are getting better, decent range, losing some weight , still somewhat expensive. Although EV is gonna make the automobile a more focused machine with less variety. It's all gonna be daily driver awd vehicles. Hardly any differentiation. I personally like the Polestar 2.

The one thing I despise though, is that these are in no way upgrades to ice vehicles. It's a forced transition to buy these vehicles. The climate change policies being instated around the world are driving up gas prices and governments don't mind this pressure on the consumer to lock us into 84 month loans for EV vehicles that are inferior to ICE counterparts. They want us to drive less, own less cars , and produce less cars. I hate being coerced into owning a electric vehicle. If you're not well off than you don't have a choice. The middle class is gonna hold the burden of this EV transition, forcing us to take on lengthy loans and high payments for new technology to sacrifice for the future. Of course we have to take on that burden. The wealthier people will not , they can own ice vehicles alongside EV ones, and get access to best technology without consquences. These gas prices right now are for this reason. They're gonna get higher. Middle class is gonna get screwed since cost of vehicle ownership will skyrocket. Either get a normal car with gas costing triple your insurance potentially, or get a high payment new tech vehicle with inferior range, handling characteristics and slower refilling times.

If DeSantis runs and pledges to make realistic deadlines and goals, I'll vote for him. This kind of pressure on the consumers should've came around 2030-2035. Not 2022 where govt is immediately trying to force us into buying electric vehicles. When ICE has potential for the best decade ever in terms of value, tech, fuel economy, and other characteristics.
