EVs are being pushed because they're easily controllable. Many "progressive" locations - such as Europe, Canada, Australia and California - have plans to outlaw the combustion engine altogether circa 2030. It's never been about the environment. The batteries for EVs rely on rare earth minerals and as a result supply will never be able to meet demand; most people will get priced out of car ownership altogether and get corralled into large cities. The power grid can't handle EVs and it'll be an excuse to limit charging for those that do have EVs and kneecap your ability to move larger distances. It also won't be hard in several decades to transition EVs to fully-automated vehicles that you won't even be legally allowed to drive yourself, using "security" from human error as the excuse. The charging infrastructure in of itself can be used a control grid; and when the state can do something, they will. It's not hard to imagine a scenario where charging stations X miles from your home are automatically disabled because the state adopts a policy restricting the use of energy due to shortages or using climate change as the excuse. So the end result is that, if these changes are accepted by the public, your ability to move freely and have independent control over your means of transportation will be eliminated. It's that simple. Reject this agenda en masse and this will not happen, or at least will not be possible to realize fully.
I'm sure that the experience of driving EVs is fun and can eventually become convenient. That's obvious: they want you to voluntarily switch to it, and for that for to happen they need to make it look appealing and innocuous initially. That's low-hanging fruit. A lot of people essentially think like children, they're only concerned about whether something is fun in the present moment but don't think about the long-term consequences of their implicit support / consent. In the larger scheme EVs are absolutely not a good thing.
