Yes here....it will be state to state but our car market is heavily controlled by legislation and always has been. It will ebb and flow with coming and going administrations (you'll see a big setback the next 2-4 years). You'll see increasing fees and taxes on gasoline which will drive the price up coupled with expanded tax credits for EVs once things swing back the other way which will drive another spurt of EV adoption.

There is so much oil beneath us it is ridiculous, centuries worth. EVs aren't going anywhere, of course, but American energy is about to be unleashed like a Mofoo, that is not a setback. I wouldn't be shocked if we see good ICE engines make a return.
None of this is a knock on EVs, they will always have their place.

Whatever floats peoples' boats, the government over there is huge. I can't imagine being taxed on sugar intake, but if they're happy with it over there then good. I'm not knocking it, just saying that's not for me.
But I must note that they are a tiny country compared to ours which makes EVs way more practical there. It's a small country and very narrow in some places.
Veering towards politics. Let’s veer it the other way.
Had a debadged 6 series Gran Coupe that got offended every time I took off from the line at 50%. At the last light we were lined up I took it to 75%
. It’s was on a big 55mph road so I only took it to my usual 65 cruising speed, but got there plenty quick
