"But tires"

Ban all vehicles over 5000lbs to start without a specialized license and extremely heavy fees to have them. EVs are dropping in weight daily, ICE vehicles have been increasing in weight to dodge policies. One is a means to an end, the other is a means to profit.

Profit for few vs humanity's existance.. which should we choose?

What's the 100 miles part of it? Do you mean the range only being 100 miles? We will likely have much higher than that, some are scheduled to be 5-600 miles. Really I'd settle for 250 miles.

The Telos Truck is being designed to be able to fit up to 8 people, a configuration for a 4x8' sheet of plywood, or a 5ft standard bed with 4 doors, and is set for 350 miles.

It's the length of a mini Cooper, and acquired taste for looks, but it's kind of neat. 0-60 in 4 seconds and priced at 50k. < I think to expensive, but that's cheaper than Chevy trailblazer here.

(Insert my kicking and screaming). Haha

You ignored where I laid out that plan, and focused on an unimportant point.

To promote EV adoption and suppress ICE, I would mandate that car manufacturers produce an EV equivalent of every ICE model they produce, at the same price point as the base model ICE vehicle. That EV would need to have a minimum of 100 mile range to qualify as an "equivalent".

The main problem I'm trying to to solve is the manufacturers jacking up the prices of EVs as soon as the government offers direct incentives for buying them.

This method of addressing this problem basically requires manufacturers to either increase the prices on their ICE models, or drop those ICE models entirely.

Nah I was on board with that part, I was just curious why you limited it to 100 miles so I inquired. Why not say range that equals or better than the ICE equivalent at the same price? As it shouldn't be a problem.
