Along with that, there was a massive gaslighting campaign to promote EVs as being so much better than ICE vehicles. People bringing up points about weather, charging times, grid capacity, charger availability, etc. were dismissed as Luddites.

The result was that more and more people realized the technology and infrastructure aren't anywhere near the claims in many instances and that the cost to repair can be astronomical.
