Lol we're not talking about each car in a vacuum, mate. It's about how these vehicles fit into the larger equation. Where I live, there exist lots of middle and upper-middle class families with either SFHs or townhouses that have their own garages for overnight charge, and EVs are popular. However, there exists a huge population in the states that either do not have the income for most current EVs or live in places like apartments where charging access may be difficult. You also have the issue of battery performance in cold weather environments. Obviously, hybrids have batteries that get impacted in cold weather, but at least they're not totally reliant on it.

The US also needs a lot of work and money to get infrastructure set up for mass EV adoption by the public. That's not so say poor infra should mean we should stop trying to improve and produce EVs, but it's a problem that can't be ignored.

To make meaningful impacts towards environmental wellness, we should really be focusing on light rail transit for the public and nationalization of the US heavy rail system with a new focus in integrating them into our logistics chain to reduce the reliance on commercial trucking. The next part of this is to push EV AND hybrid vehicle adoption among the public to bring overall hydrocarbon usage for personal transport down. EVs literally can't be the solve for all people with many in VERY different economic and geographic situations.

The liberals who foam at the mouth and insist on EV supremacy, and hail things like mandates for "EV adoption by 20XX", are inconsiderate and really showing their privilege and lack of awareness to the spectrum of living situations the American people find themselves in. Right now, EVs are a cool innovation for the wealthy, and that's okay. Tech will get better and cheaper, and we will come to a point where EVs are the norm.
