EV's are still largely a virtue signaling tool for the affluent. The working poor certainly can't afford them, and the vast majority have no place to charge them overnight. The Middle-Income Earner does not have the discretionary income to afford a spare ICE vehicle for longer trips or towing and the wife needs her ICE vehicle to go to WORK. Many people across the income spectrum live in townhouses, rowhomes or apartments and also don't have any place to charge overnight.
We neither have the generation capacity nor grid to support widespread use of EV's. I don't see them flying off dealers' lots, except in very, very affluent areas like mine where Model 3's are relatively common, but the other one or two cars in the driveway is an ICE BMW, Benz or Lexus, Land Rover, or other SUV.
So, what are manufactures whom have gone in with Governments worldwide and converting largely to EVs going to do with all of them? Will Government have to do a back door ban and make mileage requirements so onerous nobody can reach them with ICE or even a Hybrid? Will governments just ban ICE vehicles or severely limit how much or where they can be driven???
