As for myself, I currently have a mid-sized sedan, but the next vehicle purchase will be PHEV or full EV, depending on when it needs to be made. As it is, I'm going to get a bike for my work commute in the warmer months. At least I can mitigate some of the damage about six months of the year.
The only positive I can see to this article is that despite the massive decrease overall in BEV purchasing, after 2025Q2, the sales amounts started going back up again.
I expect that the rates will further increase, regardless of policy incentives, thanks to Agent Orangutan blowing up the world.
