The issue with the Deep State / Uniparty is they only care about what they want. What normal people want is not only not considered, they could not care less about it.
With EVs, the Deep State / Unipaty has passed their “rule” and they truly believe that they can just wait us out. So what if we don’t buy their mandated EVs? The rules are in place and they have no interest in changing them. There next move will likely be a combination of: mandate the disuse of older vehicles, restrict the availability of gasoline, ration the amount of gasoline individuals can purchase, greatly increase gasoline / diesel taxes.
All of the moves will be to force the disuse of personal transportation. Therefore, choices in the 2030s will quickly boil down to discontinue use of personal motorized transportation and therefore be forced to move to an urban location or pay up for a useless EV and try to continue living outside of urban centers but with sharply limited transportation.
Once gasoline and diesel are generally unavailable, the long knives will be out for the toxic and environmentally highly dirty EVs. That will be done to try and force the remaining holdouts off their land and into the urban free fire zones.

Sounds very dystopian and very doomer not to be confused with boomers. I live far outside the core of DFW in a semi rural exurb. My very next car will be a Model 3 RWD with LFP cells for exact opposite to what you are saying. The dotgovs can shut down gasoline sales in a few hours by telling the dozen or so refineries to stop.letting trucks come get fuel at the plant gate or else. Valero will comply bank on that or face nationalization. Same for the natural gas grid Atmos and Chesapeake both will shut the valves if told too or else.
However the govs cannot shut off the great thermonuclear fireball in the sky as is showers my property with energy well above the needs of not only my home but also any driving distance I chose to go in an EV. I have two 50 amp plugs already on the garage walls that will fully charge a Tesla overnight. I have Taiwan made 25 year lifespan panels 15kw with space for another 15 should I choose to upgrade. The inverters are 8000 watts each. Those inverters have a internal frequency source they can and have gone into island mode 100% off grid. The whole point of the project was to have a source of power independent of any grid or.gov action to turn off a grid.
I would expect that independence minded people would jump at the opportunity to be grid free. My commute at times is 106 miles round trip that’s farther than 99.99% of all daily commutes the avg is 40 miles or under. A model 3 will make the round trip three times before running empty. So regardless of what the govs do I have a 150 mile out and back range. People seem to think that gas pumps will always be stocked with fuel available for purchase. Harvey and Katrina show that is not the case at all and less of the Gov desired to stop sales by fiat.
