Uhh, it wouldn't be. EVs are an emerging market with many potential manufacturers. By not changing the law, you limit it to existing vehicle manufacturers despite the fact that existing vehicle have traditionally been a completely different technology that it threatened by the new one. That's like going back to the days before ubiquitous electrical power and requiring you to buy electricity from the gas utility company instead of allowing new utility companies to exist and sell direct and then justifying it. Now the new electric tech must be sold to you by the purveyors of the technology it competes with.
