The unfortunate fact is that you can't force people to buy something they don't trust or "want"   Unless they figure out a way to market EVs to appeal to people and remove most of the preconceived notions people have about them, its going to be a struggle to sell them or even make money off them.

I don't know, the FUD around EVs killing the grid has met the Reality that AI is killing the grid and spiking electrical rates, all over the country.    The lessons from China is that Hybrids are not cheaper to build than EVs. The current Political climate is as Anti hybrid as its Anti EV, combined with low fuel prices, is likely to stall growth in either hybrids and EVs. I feel that the advantage of EVs is that they offer a path towards energy independence that PHEVs don't.  

Yes, we should be more like France.  If so, it would be a different discussion on regulations IMO.
