I doubt anyone is forced to buy EV in the US, except there will be a time when only EVs are sold as new vehicles, which probably is ca. 2040.  I've noted before that many two car families would do well with one EV and one ICE, IF the EV presented a reasonable value proposition in starting cost.  This won't work for everyone, but it's going to be attractive, I think, for quite a few if supply can keep up and if prices come down more.

The process will be slower than many wish, but it's coming.

We do just fine with that setup.

Gas is not allowed on the golf course in here. It's a big neighborhood so we use it a lot to tool around. Plenty of range for how we use it. 

Mine was $7500.

The point is that California is insisting on getting wide spread use of EV's as quickly as possible, all the while knowing that their Elec Grid cannot handle the extra load. They have experienced rolling blackouts for years due to Grid Capacity and reliable sources of electricity. Adding thousands or millions of EV's while ignoring the grid is a recipe for disaster. 

yup, all these claims and pronouncements of this EV and that EV by 2035 or 2040 can and probably will be rolled back

autos are like everything else and sold on supply and demand

if the demand isn't there, they won't be sold

I'm not so worried about the grid in Iowa, Nebraska and rural areas

large population centers in Cali and Texico are more likely to have major issues

DETROIT (AP) — More than 750 Tesla owners have complained to U.S. safety regulators that cars operating on its partially automated driving systems have suddenly stopped on roadways for no apparent reason.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration revealed the number in a detailed information request letter to Tesla that was posted Friday on the agency’s website.

The 14-page letter dated May 4 asks the automaker for all consumer and field reports it has received about false braking, as well as reports of crashes, injuries, deaths and property damage claims. It also asks whether the company’s “Full Self Driving” and automatic emergency braking systems were active at the time of any incident.

The agency began investigating phantom braking in Tesla’s Models 3 and Y last February after getting 354 complaints. The probe covers an estimated 416,000 vehicles from the 2021 and 2022 model years. In February, the agency said it had no reports of crashes or injuries.
