EV are at least currently more expensive upfront to buy than ICE cars so we'll naturally get less of them.
We'll also probably get a lot more of small EV (especially in cities) than we got small ICE cars.
I really wish people in favor of non car transit would spend less than 100% of their time criticizing people owning/looking for an EV and never say a word on fossil cars that people continue buying.
Their time would be much better spent on promoting mass transit (with electric bus/whatever), walkable and cyclist friendly development and telling people about health, atmospheric pollution and noise issues around fossil cars.
To fight climate change we need both EV and more mass transit/walking/cycling, and less ICE car and buses.

And timing is critical so all at the same time.
