Not sure why you're messing with Blaq, his posts have been pretty reasonable. Acccusing him of cancel culture bs is completely uncalled for, too. I'm as unhappy with this forced PC EV push as you are, but I always say let's have a discussion and consider each other's points.
If there were no mandates and ICE cancellation plans whatsoever, people would still buy some EVs, because there are scenarios they are optimal for: people who hate or are indifferent to driving, short distance city commutes or shopping trips, availability of a garage for overnight charging. I'd also get one for the wife if any were available at a reasonable price that are actually functional for a family (and don't look like a turd, heh).
Were it up to me, EVs would simply come alongside ICE as an additional, and in many cases, welcome, option. Speaking to your point, this would also slow adoption to a rate that allows the required infrastructure adjustments to be considered and made, you know, in a common sense fashion. Doesn't look like we are headed that way, but then this also doesn't mean EVs are the devil's work.
