Change has to happen organically. Make a product better than what we have, people will want it.Exactly as you point out the fundamental technology has been around for over a hundred years. It is the ability to store energy which has made it economically feasible.
Resistance to change takes odd turns. In the early days of Rockefeller when his fortune depended on kerosene which was used for lighting, Rockefeller was opposed to the electric light bulb. Ironically gasoline was a worthless byproduct of kerosene refining. The Internal Combustion Engine changed those economics.
Tell people they have no choice, that never works.
Right now, EV isn't always the better option. Maybe some day in the future it will be more often than not.
