No, EVs are still the future. In CA they stopped the subsidized tax benefits a year ago, sales continue to climb. The EU will outlaw new ICE vehicles in some countries in 2032, others 2035. The US has several states including two of the three most populous, New York and California, will also adopt the no-new-ICE vehicles by 2035. Right now EVs only make up 5% of vehicles on the road, but that is supposed to be a tipping point and snowball to higher adoption. There are still lots of challenges, infrastructure, cost etc, but some day, I think about 20-25 years from now, there will be as many EVs on the road as ICE, and someday after that, ICE vehicles will be a novelty. Like it or not, EVs (or hydrogen or ?) ARE the future, ICE will be around for a long long time, but slowly they will be replaced.
PS After 2035 you will still be able to buy a Hybrid,
The best of both worlds. The 2023 Prius claims 57 MPG!
