I think people are smarter than politicians/government thinks they are. Early adopters jumped on EV vehicles, but for primary vehicle use, 2023 was the year that idea smashed into a cliff as the reality of away from home charging became understood. Hertz learned that lesson the expensive way.
When you drive an EV, the performance is amazing. Our Lightning is faster than a Raptor, and is a perfect range and around town vehicle. Since we don't use it for longer trips, public charging is a non issue. As the public charging infrastructure improves, battery technology improves, and costs come down, EV's will become a better option for more people. That isn't happening in months, it will take years.
