I’m asking this without bias. Just genuine curiosity. Cause I don’t understand (hence eli5 lol). Why are they being pushed right now when it’s known that almost all EVs have ranges that are quite low? Compared to the amount of miles one may get with a full tank of gas that is.
Surely they would focus more on increasing the amount of range per charge to match what you can get in terms of gas in a newer gas powered car (closer to 500). Instead of setting laws in place to phase gas out before electric is even fully developed.

The cost to add range is very high, as the battery pack uses lithium and other expensive materials. Most people do not need more range for daily driving (I use 15-20 miles in a day, my wife will go 45-50 visiting clients on the most extreme days). If you need more miles a hybrid is a better option.
