Remove the partisan blather and you're on to something. It is the mandates, the top-down control based on incomplete and often false premises and the holier-than-thou attitude that drives people away from these "moon shot projects". Once EVs make economical and practical sense people will flock to them but that will take a while a while for many people, especially those with longer commutes and those who live in the more northerly/wintry areas. If you live in places where the sun always shines and have the space for a good-sized solar array it already makes sense, elsewhere - not so much.
