the petrol ban delay wouldn't have happened if THE GOVERNMENT WASN'T SO INCOMPETENT!! I don't see any initiatives to build electric car charger infrastructure everywhere!
I'd have to agree with some of the proposed ban dates here in the US as well. You can't just mandate something without also building up the infrastructure to support it. 2030 will be here in the blink of an eye but it doesn't seem like there is any rush to build out public charging stations, mandate chargers in places like apartment complexes, or upgrade the grid to handle this new load. I suspect a lot of these will get pushed back as their dates approach. It's very easy to say "at ABC point in the future all things must be XYZ." It's much more difficult to actually have things ready for that proposed date.
