2035 is for a ban of sales of new vehicles isn't it? That seems completely viable to me. We're at well over 50% now and set to hit near 100% in 2025 here in Norway. We heard the same skepticism here over the years, so it's remarkable how easy the transition has been so far. Challenges, yes, but nothing too hard. Since we started the transition several years earlier some things have been much harder than it'll be for latecomers. When I got my EV 50kW was the fastest non Tesla charging option. Since electricity is now billed by the hour, and smarter homes can eliminate high power peaks, there doesn't seem to be any big grid infrastructure upgrades needed. Do you have any concrete numbers for EV lifetimes? I know some models have been problematic. With Nissan Leaf, which is a worst case scenario due to a very small battery with no cooling, yes you see the battery is basically useless for a car after 10+ years. But then you see quite a lot of cases of people buying a new battery to keep the car going. After all, the rest of the drivetrain can last far longer and with a new battery it's as good as new, or better (can get longer range). The old battery can be used for grid storage or the materials can be recycled. Both of those are already being done commercially. So I'm not sure I see any fundamental issues with the lifetime of EVs.
