> What's irrational about electric vehicles?

Only considering the upside, instead of the downsides. True, an EV itself has no emissions but, how is that electricity generated, distributed? How are the materials for the batteries sourced (I hope you like strip mining and being beholden to China)? How are end-of-lifed batteries disposed?

I think EVs are the future, but we shouldn't put the cart before the horse on our way to get there. EVs are also already quite a bit more expensive a similar ICE vehicle. They'll only get more expensive if there's a government induced shortage of materials & parts due to a mandate.
