But why hate on it as a concept? No-one is forcing anyone to buy EVs and its undeniable they have some advantages over ICE cars, even if you ignore the environmental aspects mine is costing 30% what an ICE version would in fuel.
The regulatory state kind of *IS* forcing us to buy EVs, if we get any form of personal transportation at all, going forward. They are doing it in a phased approach, but it's definitely happening. Enjoy your brief honeymoon with low KWH rates while it lasts. As gas tax revenue drops, GVWs get heavier, and electrical grid infrastructure needs increase, it won't last.
