It will be interesting to see how much more subsidy ICE cars require as they disappear over the next 10 years.

Around me (Ohio, USA), nearly every car I see is gas-fired. I only see an occasional EV; they tend to stick out, and they're very unusual.
Things look different when I travel to different areas of the US, though. Poorer areas have even fewer EVs than I see around here, while wealthier areas have a lot more of them.
It's a little bit unusual for me to encounter an EV at all during my ~daily driving (often about 40 miles, all said).

For my part: My lifestyle requires a minivan that can serve as a work truck. There are zero EV options for that here.
But if I could get one with 250 or 300 miles of capacity, then I'd have a new goal. :)
Probably not all that rural by US standards, but it is by UK standards.
The EV rollout is still early stages here too. If we had regional electricity pricing (contentious question!), Scotland would have cheaper electricity and potentially at zero on many occasions.
(ID Buzz? Very expensive though)
I’m in the U.K. and couldn’t afford to not have an EV, could cost over £2500 a year more to drive a petrol car.
