The elevation of the electric car into a religion will destroy the industry. 90% of people will hold on to their existing cars. This will wipe-out new car sales. They can't tax people off the road in a democratic country but they will subsidise electric cars as a means to achieve this outcome. Only the wealthiest 'party officials' will own electric cars and that is what they want. Electric cars are luxurious gadgets for the wealthy. Like any status symbol they can look down on the great-unwashed in their dirty, smelly, noisy cars. But, be grateful they love carbon capture and electric cars. And not religion, the proletariat, or war. Thousands of poor and elderly will die from fuel poverty & many will no longer afford a car. But far more have died on other, much bloodier, political altars.
