Many bans have been announced in advance while the alternatives were still in development stages or more expensive. Think CFCs, leaded gasoline, scrubbing sulfur from smokestacks etc. How is this any different?

Plus cities are moving to ban ICE cars anyway due to particulate pollution instead of CO2.
