Many people here seem to believe govts should ban non-EV's immediately, if not yesterday. Those people must clearly all be able to afford a vehicle that costs, at minimum, $30,000. Most people, in most countries, will struggle to afford to buy any vehicle, let alone electric vehicles that will: + literally cost several years worth of salary + have a limited lifespan (probably around 10 years) + short and decreasing range (usually 200 miles when new) + take an hour or hours to recharge + whose battery packs alone can cost half of the purchase price (that is, another year or two of salary) to replace. Meanwhile, a well-cared for ICE car from the 50's will continue to run for many decades (just ask Cuba.)
