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.

They are becoming standard because the government is throwing money at them to entice people into using them. I have no problem with electric vehicles, but I do have a problem with the government picking winners and losers.
As a single car household, I would never purchase an electric vehicle. They have plenty of advantages (namely they’re require less maintenance), but the recharge time is a no go for me. For daily commuting, range and charge time is not much of an issue. If I had a second vehicle, I’d consider making it an EV.
