Mess with peoples transportation options and they notice in a big way.

Whereas nobody cares where their electricity to the grid comes from, provided it does.

EVs are an excellent option for exactly this reason: what we need is to mess with transportation minimally, ideally with benefits (i.e. quieter, cheaper fuel, maybe self-drive) but ultimately get the usage of energy for transportation disconnected from any specific fuel source.
