If EVs are so good, why does the government need law and policy to force people to buy them? Why not remove all the tax-payer funded incentives on EV (which is rich people welfare) and penalties on ICE (which is poor people tax)? We didn't have to legislate to stop people using horse and buggy did we? Did we legislate to stop people using kerosene lamps instead of light bulbs? Or fax machines? Or mechanical typewriters?

Some places legislated kerosene lamps away because they’re a fire hazard. Oh wait …
