Cities went from horse-drawn carriages to automobiles because the incentives made it attractive to do it. The same can be done for for electric vehicles, it’s just a matter of putting the horse in front of the cart.

And the incentives are there. Electric cars are quiet, clean, and much cheaper to drive and to maintain.

But apparently not enough for most people, otherwise no one would want an ICE car anymore.

Teslas are too expensive, and the other car manufacturers are behind on getting a full range of models out. I expect that to change the next two years or so.
