Humans aren't that smart. When government doesn't force people to put on seatbelts, they don't wear them and die in the first 20mph accident they get into. When it doesn't force people to stop buying guns, they do and kill random people. When it doesn't force them to dump all their chemical waste into rivers, they do and kill animals and poison people. When it doesn't force them to stop smoking, they do and kill themselves. You got the idea. Or maybe not. Probably not - and that's why you need to be forced.
That's why we humans choose a government and give them the right to regulate. That's called the Social Contract.
EVs won't solve climate change by themselves. But it's a part of it. If you're obese, you wouldn't say "I can eat this large pizza by myself. Not eating this won't put me in shape anyway, so f/ck it".

I can't imagine what it must be like to be you. Full of hatred and prejudices. You probably know less than 1% about the people you are stereotyping, not really surprising. I read a forum every day full of people like you that think they're smarter than everyone else. Pure narcissism.
No one ever had to force me to use a seatbelt, and I read multiple news articles from just about every viewpoint you could imagine every day. I watch congressional testimony and see things less than 1% of our population ever sees. But most important, I dig in and get the real facts. No, I don't watch the main network news from either side of the political spectrum.
