It's not being shoved upon the consumer.  You are still free to buy whatever car you want.  And it's not unproven technology.  Electric vehicles have been around for decades.  

The fact is, Tesla has effectively executed their strategy.  Tesla built themselves thousands of reliable charging stations.  The legacy automakers failed to do that, so we read all these horror stories of people who rent non-Tesla EVs and have trouble finding charging stations.  I wouldn't buy a Ford or GM EV and try to take a road trip.

It absolutely is being shoved on consumers in the  states declaring no more sales of ICE vehicles after 2025 or whatever the deadline is. Folks who can't afford an EV will have to go out of state to buy a car.
