Really ? What about all of the states that are mandating EV's ?

No, I think that they will, eventually, "force" everyone into an EV, regardless of the problems and shortcomings associated with them.
I suspect that the government will resort to the following to "coerce" people to move over to EV's.
( 1 ) Reduced quantities of available fuel will generate much higher prices per gallon.
( 2 ) They will offer "tax credits" to EV owners, while taxing ICE's with "Carbon Impact Fee's" and any other taxes / fees they can dream up.
( 3 ) The government may try to "leverage" auto parts stores out of existence, in order to limit "self-repair" or eliminate access to replacement parts for ICE vehicles. ( No Belts, No Brake Parts, No Fuel Pumps, No Starters, No Water Pumps, No Alternators, etc, etc, etc. )
( 4 ) The government may create some form of "Federal vehicles inspections" with the ability to "pass", being virtually impossible, for ICE vehicles.
( 5 ) Probably a lot more things I didn't mention.
As for the Politicians, we never got our Incandescent lightbulbs back, did we ? Once they're gone ( and the manufacturers are "in on it"), they aren't coming back. Once the supply dries up, it's "game over".

So, how about actually answering those concerns with information from cited, verifiable sources ?

Let's keep that other thread free of politics ok?
