That's where I am. Most people I talk to are of the same opinion. We are not against EV.
1. Affordability
2. Infrastructure
3. Practicality - "Do you REALLY think oil companies are going to let this happen with no market for their product?"
Until all those are 100% accounted for, there is no ripping the bandaid off like some people expect to happen.
I'm all for the environment, but the push is a little off base with no plan of action.
I guess that is what truly defines the difference between an idealist and a realist.
