Same here in the UK. They are really, really pushing the electric car. Every advert I see is about electric cars. Rarely see them on the road however. I've seen 2 Tesla's in the last few years here where I live. About 4 or 5 Nissan Leaf's and 1 Honda Insight. With the exception of Tesla (I like the Model S), they don't appeal to me or anyone I know. And are boring and cost a fortune to fix/charge from what I have heard. I doubt they will meet their 2030 target of not selling combustion engine cars. Petrol/diesel cars might not be made beyond that year, but they will still be around for a long time.
Was watching an old car programme, Top Gear I think, on YouTube. A 1980's episode, where they said they would try to stop making petrol/diesel vehicles by the year 2000. Obviously that didn't happen, but they are pushing hard this time.

Oh yeah, state and local government’s faults for not providing unlimited fossil fuel reserves on the planet. Definitely their fault and not a natural resource issue why the switch to electric in the long-run is mandatory!

And if electric grid goes down stranded cars. You can buy fuel everywhere. If fuel disappears I will sell cars altogether. Get groceries, packages delivered more. Bus stop 2 blocks away.
