It’s when people use every excuse and not don’t use logic, realize progress doesn’t cater to the whims of a small fraction of enthusiasts and car lovers, that we move forward for the greater good, not to appease a minute segment. Nothing to do with being a Republican or Democrat, left or right leaning, it’s about reducing our carbon footprint, lowering pollution and saving the planet we all share.
EV government mandates worldwide aren’t political, they are efforts in earnest to reduce the damage made during the industrial age to current day by coal production and the broad use of ICEs.
It is time to put politics aside and realize the world doesn’t revolve around the needs of the less than 1%. We have bigger problems to worry about than losing the feel, smells and roaring sounds of an ICE engine. Our planet.
Each generation keeps passing the baton, each keeps saying ICE’s haven’t contributed to global warming, etc.. The facts, science says otherwise. The recent temperature changes worldwide are the planet telling us to wake the freak up.
Some just want to live in the past, but Progress is a stubborn thing; unstoppable and unavoidable.

"The Greater Good"
It isn't about the greater good. Nor is it progress. Nor does the science say what you claim; select segments of "the science" say this, while the others are silenced.
And, of course, science is a work in progress. When one claims the science is settled, one demonstrates that one has no understanding of the scientific method or science.
