Well, to get rid of gas vehicles, yep
Because they have far more control over you with an EV
And your range (freedom) is not comparable
And your refill time is not comparable, much longer
And they know where you are when you are charging up. And they could prevent you charging up

What about prepper minded people with solar panels that produce more power than their homes use on a monthly basis. There are a number of people on this very board who have EVs and large solarpower systems specifically because you cannot have an oil well plus refinery in your back 40 let alone a suburban back yard. But you can have a 15kw system on a large suburban homes roofline.
Seems like a good thing to have electricity that comes from the giant thermonuclear fireball in the sky not the grid. Gasoline can be much more easily controlled vs the distributed grid. Gasoline comes from a few refineries should the govt decide to limit its distribution or use they only have to stop the trucks at the dozen or so large refineries vs thousands and thousands of generation points across the grid. Forcing EVs is dumb and fascist. However for people who have multiple vehicles anyways having one that can go on a two hundred plus mile round trip that is not dependent on EPA approved fuel is freedom at is core. That means you have at least a 100 mile radius completely autonomous from anything the commies could do to the fuel supply.The Fed’s cannot turn off the Sun they can shut down refineries at will. Food for thought for preppers. It shouldn’t be automatically EV bad, EV bad they have specific use cases.
As commuter cars they are hard to beat on a total cost per mile basis either. The average person commutes less than 40 miles per day that’s only 10kwh in a model 3 sized EV per day or 200 kwh per month. If your job has level 2 chargers in the parking deck then you commute for the cost of operations/maintenance plus initial capital outlays vs depreciation. Your “fuel” is free or more accurately part of your total compensation package from your job. A model 3 charges at 11kw or 44 miles per hour from a L2 charger that means the avg commute is covered each way in a single hour in the morning at work. Drive home park over night and come back to the work charger never using your home power at all.
