$30k isn't cheap imo, the average person would need to take out a loan to go buy an EV. Outside of big cities infrastructure doesn't exist.

Also hauling stuff in an EV, which is where most of the emissions are, isn't even close to feasible yet.

>they’re much simpler to own and maintain

Maintain maybe... own not really https://www.caranddriver.com/shopping-advice/a32494027/ev-vs...

Personally, I have zero desire to sell my gas vehicle which will be perfectly fine for the next 5 years to drop 30k on an EV that won't be able to do as much.
