A deregulated EV market could actually be a game changer.
A friend of mine grew up in China. He told me about going to high school, and there were these little three-wheeled electric vehicles that were only a couple thousand dollars each, and they were not fully fledged automobiles but they were weatherproof transportation. Not only did it mean that students could have transportation of their own, it also meant that many of those students could go off and sell their services after school as a low rent taxi service. Eventually, the Chinese government got really embarrassed by these little three-wheel things and it didn't project the image of power that they wanted, so they banned them.
I really believe that a deregulated EV market that put this sort of vehicle front and center would change a lot.
