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.

It has to do with having a planet on which drive 200 miles vs having no planet to live in and a car with a range of 400 as a coffin. We HAVE to go electric.
Batteries do weight a fair bit, given that you should rest every 2 hours of driving, there’s no big downside having just enough battery for 2 hours driving, then charge it at the station while you rest. This saves weight and make the car cheaper, and more efficient.
Normal countries should have a network of trains to move further than 200 miles. Train can also travel at 200mph, which is better than any EV and is way more comfortable inside.
