Goomba fallacy[1]. Within the Democratic party at least, there are at least 3 camps with different reasons for supporting/opposing EVs:
1. environmentalists, who want to reach net zero ASAP
2. "made in America" types, who want to keep encourage/retain domestic manufacturing because they think they're a source of good blue collar jobs
3. china hawks, who want to stifle china's rise
