What will happen is suddenly used cars under the age of 2030 will jump in price. This will happen in all the surrounding states importing all the good used cars in as it will be the only way to continue driving the car people want. There will also be a huge surge in 2029 new car sales as people figure if they buy a new one and treat it right maybe they can get until 2050 out of it. Sort of like talking gun control leads to an actual increase in gun sales.

Then people will invent a generator hitch so you can run an attached ICE generator to charge the car all night parked in front of your apartment or all day in front of your work with no charging outlets.

At some point in 2050 when everything is actually ready to be 100% EV they will point to the success. Even if every other state that just let the market happen also ends up in the same place

Then in 2051 China nukes us anyway.
