If they make better cars then shouldn't the free market just accept this?
The thing about ICE cars is that they are really good. Many EV advocates seem to overlook this. The EVs replacing them have to be better in all metrics. We just aren't there. As an anecdote, I've been renting EVs for a day to try out a handful of ones I can afford.
1. Mache: buggy software, painful seating for tall people(center console hard plastics poke your leg and its painful), mediocre sound, somewhat ugly
2. Bolt EUV: cramped back window, slow charging, poor headroom for tall passengers, poor luggage space, ugly
3. ID4: terrible software, poor value for the price, strange reliability issues.
4. Tesla: high insurance costs, high repair costs, cheap interior, poor seats.
My comparison car is a 2006 Mazda 3. A car I really love. At the end of each day I ask myself, is there something i'd miss that my old car had? So far the answer has been yes.
