How many folks want an EV

I would consider it when they become affordable, dependable and capable; not there now and I don’t see it happening any time soon - despite the “mandates” currently being demanded. Mandates are just as easy to change as when they were first thrown down, just as soon as it becomes expedient to decide a “change” is needed to keep your cushy perks coming.

Sorta like prohibition, things have a way of evolving.
