And it doesn't really seem to lead to an improvement to the average Joe, who even if could afford a new "eco" car would most likely go out of budget if a complex repair is needed, in contrast to how some shade-tree mechanic would solve any issue a small-block Chevy may have. Some folks seemingly don't remember an EV will also need some maintenance once in a while, and are not simply cheaper to dispose of and replacing with a new one like any other home appliance, and they tend to see cars basically as just another appliance.
