In Venezuela we've had a crippling gasoline shortage since last year (Don't vote for communist dictators). Within months we saw EVs appear everywhere. Tiny Fiat EVs imported for the rich who could buy a new car on a whim, sure, but also thousands of scooters and Ebikes popped up everywhere. Really small, 40km/h tops, cheap from china; exactly what you say happened in a few months.
