EVs are largely seen as a gimmick, I think. The large demand that they and the governments envisioned just isn’t there. If it weren’t for regulations and tax incentives, you could probably cut that demand in half. They don’t help the environment and they aren’t really cheaper to own and run. It’s just another vehicle. Not saying it’s not cool or that it shouldn’t exist. But it’s a niche and in its infancy, still. Maybe a toddler at most. I don’t think we’ll all be driving electric vehicles in 20 years. I think something else will supplant them and I think ICE, to some degree, will still be around. Electric will remain one of many mousetraps.
You are full of it.

The one thing actually worse for the environment than EVs are ICE vehicles.

Driving less, fewer cars, more VMT on buses trains, bikes and feet are all way better than any car. But continued burning of fossil fuels for personal transport is one of the worst things you can do. Ok, your PJ is worse.

Apparently you have no kids and care not about the future of the planet, spouting misinformed nonsense.

I almost feel sorry for you.
