"Liberals are generally those buying EVs, while conservatives are more inclined to buy IC vehicles"

I don't think the divide is all that significant. There may be a slightly bigger percentage buying for a perceive environmental reason, but Teslas are mainly purchased by the rich, politics be damned.
