I don't see why EVs are bothersome to most of you.
I'll use a popular word of the left - EVs are "problematic."
How long does your phone battery hold a charge? How often do you have to change phones?
Overly simplistic (because, in many ways, EVs requires less intensive maintenance than ICE vehicles), but an EV is a cell phone in vehicular form. It will be great while it has a charge and all the software/firmware is updated and working well. It will be *ahem* "not so great" when those things aren't working well.
And when hundreds of millions of EVs need new batteries every 2 to 4 years, that's going to be a fricking problem, frankly.

Ok. So you wouldn't get an EV. I understand that. If this is ultimately a clusterfricke then bring it on and let it happen and then let's get on with hydrogen fuel cells. But why does anyone care if their neighbor gets an EV?

You're in fantasy land, not reality. Here is the data on Tesla Model S/X battery. Actual data, not conjecture
Average battery degradation over 100,000 miles: 4%
Miles before 20% defecation: 500,000
All Tesla's come with an 8 year battery warranty. If your Tesla experiences 30% battery degradation within 8 years, you're able to replace the battery. Very reasonable. Of course there are numerous Teslas on the road right now with more than 300,000 miles on them.
I don't understand the outright refusal to at least consider that the tech is impressive. I can fully understand preferring an ICE, but what is with the hard stance about the tech in the face of reality
Edit for my personal case. I have a 2015 Model S. My battery has only experienced roughly 7% degradation. I consider that very reasonable
