904 has already hit on one of the reasons makers of EV's are rushing product to market and it's the profit margin factor. Infrastructure and grid capacity is no where near what it needs to be and these mandates will cause a horrible situation down the road for those without home based charging.

IMO, EV's are a place holder for eventual hydrogen powered vehicles. It's not there yet but one of the biggest car makers in the world who started the hybrid revolution and nearly perfected it, Toyota, has not given up on hydrogen as they believe it will be the cleanest and most efficient source for automotive application. The company will use a hydrogen powered race car in 2022 and will learn and develop applications for road use from it's programs.

I agree, I also think Hydrogen will be the final vehicle fuel source. I hope they solve the issues as fast as possible.
