No cars for the masses is the aim.

The left likes to treat skeptics of electrical cars as if they were Luddites. Truth is, making an existing product less efficient but more expensive doesn’t really meet the definition of innovation.
Even the purported amenities and technological advances EV makers like to brag about in their ads have been a regular feature of gas-powered vehicles going back generations. At best, EVs, if they fulfill their promise, are a lateral technology.
Which is why there is no real “emerging market” for EVs in the United States as much as there’s an industrial policy in place that props up EVs with government purchases, propaganda, state subsidies, cronyism, taxpayer-backed loans, and edicts. The green “revolution” is an elite-driven, top-down technocratic project.
And it’s increasingly clear that the only reason giant rent-seeking carmakers are so heavily invested in EV development is that government is promising to artificially limit the production of gas-powered cars.

The current battery technology is too inefficient. Subsidizing the current Lithium Ion battery based EVs is a grift.
What we should be doing is clearing out red tape around developing different battery technologies that could theoretically be cost effective. Take them off patent so anyone can work on the technology and get regulators out of the way.
We should also eliminate red tape around developing clean power with nuclear. It doesn't matter if it's U based or Thorium, let that technology develop. Current nuclear power is not cost effective either, because the initial investment required to build a massive plant and get it approved by the regulators is astronomical and requires government subsidies. The government literally has to pay power companies to get through its own red tape. That is not efficient.
There's a future in better batteries + smaller scale nuclear power if the regulators and government can get out of the way enough.

Truth! However, you pointed out the biggest impediment to that ever happening:

I did not vote to allow the government to give people 7k when they buy a new EV. That is theft from the tax payer to try to incentivize adoption where there is little interest.

Even if one has the background to properly explain the (((who))), what, when, where, how, and why, they won't comprehend the explanation.
They can't recall basic oxidation reduction reactions from high school, the battery has a limited life of approximately one decade.
They can't understand subsidy is theft. The government is paying them down.
Can't comprehend the lack of balance between the environmental costs of strip mining against air, water, and soil, vs the trade off of "ha, no carbon emissions, truly green". 20 kilotons of earth moved for enough mineral to make a battery. Water contaminated. Soil ruined and sterile. They will not understand that China will bear the brunt of the mining damages, because, as usual, the CPP doesn't care about green policies, environmental damage, pollution, red tape, or their own people's health. (btw, EVs will die the day if China ever sanction the United States). China will grow larger.
They don't understand that hybrids in the 2000s have demonstrated a type of car that cannot be maintained, only replaced. Automaker jews salivate at the idea of the population having to buy a new car every decade because it will become un-chargeable.
