Unfortunately, EV conversion of a chassis designed for a gas tank and ICE engine usually results in a vastly inferior experience to a car designed to be EV from the ground up.

Mazda did this same shit, seems to be a Japanese thing. They dragged their feet on EVs for years until many countries made it clear the death of ICE cars was inevitable. After that, they pushed out the MX-30, an ICE-chassis conversion and colossal piece of shit that's at least 10 years behind the rest of the EV market. 100 mile range in a 2022 SUV. Properly pathetic.

I have no problem with EVs .... But ICEs aren't going anywhere we are just going to fuel them with biofuels aka natural carbon capture.

You should probably let France and California know, since they are either banning or restricting ICE by 2035.

the politicians of today picked "by 2035" because that's long enough to be the politicians of tomorrow's problem

They picked 2035 based on the advice of climate scientists. Biden's proposal of 2050 is way too late. 2035 is achievable.

*automakers

Car companies as is are mostly fine with a 2035 deadline because most of them are going to phase out ICE by then anyways

Never would be ideal...let the market be free. Require carbon neutral fuel eventually but otherwise it's overstepping governments power.

Oh OK. What do you do when your country does not permit the sale of an ICE car?
