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 last time I used the full range of the car I drive most often was 2017, driving to see the eclipse. Over 99% of the days I drive I’d be fine with 50 miles.
Something to factor in is that you can start every day with a full charge from plugging it in when you get home. Only need to stop for a charge on a road trip.
Sure, there are a lot of people that drive more than I do, but once the vehicle’s range exceeds your daily usage, yet more range isn’t much of a selling point.
