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 better for the environment, and the push means more development and improvements over time. Just as gas powered cars got 10-15mpg and then technology progressed so that they now get 25-30mpg, the same will happen with EV progress. Over time, range will get better, charging speeds will improve, etc. and the limitations will fade away. But it’s better/more economically feasible for automakers to get technology out there today than wait 20 years to perfect it.
