Not sure it's so simple. Most of the voting population is past the age where this affects them and people (I must admit I fall in that trap quite often) have the mentality that "it was done to me and look how well I turned out, so

#3 (mediocre work after an effective pay cut) doesn't sound at all unreasonable. In effect those people are getting a pay cut and decided that investing effort to be "top-notch" is not justified. They're doing a mediocre

In theory you are correct but the extra ICE parts are for people for whom EVs don't cut it (too expensive, no proper charging infrastructure, usage pattern, etc.). This is actually a vast chunk of the world's population. So if you
