Considering that auto manufacturers have scaled back production on EVs because nobody's buying (Especially when they cost an arm and a leg!) this seems to be one of those feel-good legislation things that will keep getting rolled back because it's not feasible.

-The infrastructure isn't there to support it.
-The charging stations seem to be out of service more than 50% of the time.
-The cost of the vehicles is too damn high.
-Power grid will go up in flames before it will provide the juice needed for this sort of stuff.
-The range of EVs is an issue, as is charging rates.
-EV insurance is sky high.
-EV battery fires are no joke and there's no good way to put them out as of now.
-Still not convinced that EV's don't have a bigger impact per vehicle than traditional IC vehicles do as far as the environment goes; those rare earths and lithium don't come out of the ground on their own.
