What If People Don't Want Electric Cars?

And it looks like a lot of people don't. Business Insider mag: What happened to EVs? ‘Supposed to be inevitable’ – But ‘the electric-vehicle takeover has hit some serious roadblocks…EV plan was flawed from the start’

EVs simply cannot replace ICE vehicles in all cases. And they don't make a lot of sense anyway.

When automakers pivoted to EVs, they focused on the kinds of cars that were already popular — which meant a flood of big electrified SUVs and trucks. But massive-bodied EVs don’t make much sense. Larger EVs require bigger batteries, which require more raw materials to manufacture, which requires producers to beef up their environmentally destructive mining operations. While bigger batteries allow drivers to travel farther between charges, they also make the cars heavier, more dangerous, more expensive, and worse for the planet.

But that won't stop government.
