BEVs currently are niche expensive cars. This won't really change in next few years. You are getting downvoted, because you are darting forward, leaving most of the society behind. What do you think, that will happen when you throw overboard 80% of people who can't afford BEV or don't have infrastructure to sustain it? Well they will be pissed and vote for somebody else, probably some right wing populist who will start undoing all the progress on the green regulations.

Besides, beginning to not sell gas cars five years from now isn't exactly "leaving most of society behind". Used gas cars will be available for decades even in that scenario, which is what most people buy anyway. But we can't even agree to do that piddling half-measure because I suspect you are right; we'll piss off the Nazis, and they vote.
