I don't mind the idea of EVs for daily driving in town, assuming houses and apartment complexes have adequate charging stations and obviously, the infrastructure is there to support it all. I am against governments phasing out new ICEs. This is causing manufacturers to mostly abandon new ICE development, so we are at peak ICE efficiency but probably won't get any better. Whereas, if gov't wasn't phasing out ICEs, then we'd continue to get modern ICE development and better and better fuel mileage and efficiency. That said, EVs still aren't ready for the big leagues:

I think the hold-up is many people only compare greenhouse gas emissions of EVs vs ICE. Sort of how the EU went on the diesel bandwagon a while ago and then discovered that diesels are so much dirtier than ICEs in every other measure besides carbon emissions, that they aren't improving air quality at all. EVs are so much more efficient than ICEs, that even with 50% coal, they are better from a
greenhouse gas perspective than an ICE when comparing a new EV car to a new ICE car. That said, I think the jury is still out on overall environmental impact of BEVs vs ICE, which factors in way more than just greenhouse gas, which very well could be worse than ICEs, due to the huge battery packs. 2000+ lbs worth of batteries in a Rivian is nuts.
Overall, I am very sad to see the end of modern ICE development drawing near, as EVs have no soul. Sure, a Model S Plaid is fast in a straight line, and I've ridden in one, but its soulless.
