Actually I think this is simply realism. My perception is that the 2030 date was picked in jest by Boris Johnson because the EU was about to pick 2035 and the UK was of course going to do better thanks to Brexit... Since then very little has been done. The grid is having big problems keeping up and investments are lagging across the board. Even supply of affordable EVs is not a given. Many people had been saying that the shit would hit the fan as 2030 approached. So yes this is a shit show, not because sales of new ICE cars is extended but because they have to extend it as this point. Now, if they were sensible this would go together with, finally, a comprehensive plan to invest massively in all needed domains, but alas we're still waiting.
