Saying that you are not being forced to by an EV, is a half-truth at best. Policies intentionally making ICE transportation more costly and prohibitive to own, not to mention ending ICE production, will at some point indeed force the purchase of EVs.
The current administration just recently upped the mileage requirements for ICE as they were unhappy about the slow progress of EV adoption. How is that not a forceful act?

None of this affects purchase decisions people make today. People are not buying 2023 MY vehicles factoring in what may or may not happen in 2035. But people are buying enough EVs in 2023 that two of them are in the top 10 list of vehicles purchased. Some (not all) are getting incentives, but incentives are different than being “forced” to buy. Carrot or stick. Incentive is the carrot. Forcing is the stick. I see no sticks motivating buyers to purchase EV in 2023.
