Even taking that as a given, it's eminently reasonable to expect new home construction to last long enough that for future residents, electric cars will instead be a normal fact of life.

You can buy a used Leaf for under $15k. Not exactly luxury pricing.

I bought a NEW Leaf for $16K (after tax credit) in 2017 when they were liquidating the 1st generation models. It has 30 kWh of battery and a range of about 120 miles.

Right now, you can buy a USED Leaf under $5K, but it probably has a worn out battery with 60-70 miles of range usable:

For $4k, as it happens. As I did a few weeks ago.

Did you price used electic cars recently?

Electric vehicle sales in california are growing rapidly each year.

Also, once people switch to an EV, they don't generally want to switch back (quiet, clean, cheap, minimal maintenance)
