Unironically giving the people what they want. EVs are still well within the realm of enthusiasts and rich people.
The infrastructure isn't there yet, and most blue collar families cannot afford an EV, nor the home electrical modifications needed. One-car households cannot abide the inflexibility. Oh, and forget about renters, they were never part of the equation. The EV mandate was one of the biggest ivory tower initiatives ever enacted by the government and it was objectively a failure.
No one said EVs are bad. But they are one small part of a larger picture that includes ICE and hybrid for many years to come. Purists will be upset, but they will never be satisfied with any reasonable compromise.
The arguments against EVs in the U.S. are both weird and funny. Meanwhile, many other countries have figured out that promoting the switch from ICE to EVs, is the better option for the future of humanity. Not to mention, China will use America's temporary insanity against it, to become the dominate force in EVs for the next decade or more.

Maybe we should let China sell into the US? Their EV’s are pretty cheap.
> The infrastructure isn't there yet
I guess most building in US don't have electricity yet.

I'm not sure how it is in other countries, but here the US, gas cars and EVs are political statements.
