Because even if ICE cars are entirely replaced by electric tomorrow in their entirety, they are still a blight choking up roads with traffic and noise, nevermind the destruction of the rural town or village. The incentive to preserve such an absurd status quo drops away when the loss of manufacturing jobs starts to be less of a question to contend with. They are gone either way, the only question will be if you want to continue having your population pumping hundreds of thousands of dollars into foreign companies or not.
