Yes. People are not being given a choice (at least, here in the UK). Petrol cars are being legislated out of existence. Ideally, I want a reliable, cost-effective family car without any extra gadgets, and I don't want an EV. However, those cars are just not made any more.

Also, I doubt the people that want a gas guzzler will be among the first to switch to an EV.

I have a hybrid (so it can be charged home, for 3000km we used only 50L of gasoline) - the EV drive is amazing, (if not spooky) - silent start, no noise, no vibrations (of course no exhaust), so it's great for city drive. For longer haul - there is the gasoline. For added benefit the total power of both engines engaged is quite impressive, along with acceleration.

Until there is a massive network that can reliably charge on the go, gasoline is there to stay. Also flip note: I know Norway loves EV (due to tons of tax breaks), yet EV do suck at lower temps (say below -10C)
