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.

I drive a car that gets about 310 miles to a tank of gas. When I’m just traveling around town or occasionally to the next town over. I can sometimes go close to 3 weeks before a fill up.
With an EV, and the ability to charge over night, a charge every 2 to three weeks would be about all I need. Battery technology is improving constantly, and the need for long distance travel in EVs is helping to drive that technology – and we will get there.
We slowly transitioned from the horse to the automobile over time. People laughed because a car couldn’t go where a horse could. While that is still true, in actuality the vast majority of the population has no need of a horse.
