No reasonable person would want legislation to force EVs on anyone, we're all free to choose what we want to drive. If EVs end up being the primary mode of transportation it should be because they make what they replace obsolete. Even so there will still be plenty of classic car folks always maintaining vintage vehicles.
The market is working just fine. People will buy EVs if the economics and logistics make sense for their situation, and they are. Politicians talk about "saving the planet," but we all know they don't give a shit about that. If they really, truly wanted everyone to drive EVs they'd make electricity so cheap that the economics of it would basically force everyone to do it. But that's not what they want. They want to give a big Christmas present to their friends in the auto and utility industries so they just mandate people buy more of their friend's product.
