Is your country ready to tell gas vehicle owners that they have to join a lottery for a slim chance to buy a numberplate that allows them to drive the non-electric car? Because that's what China needed to do to drive the EV sales (which has the dual benefit of cleaning up the air in their cities, and making them the leading exporter of new cars)
Norway managed to do it with good infrastructure rollout and tax incentives, and they don't even have the parallel goal of trying to build a domestic EV manufacturing industry
And what tyrannical move did the EU pull to get double the EV adoption rate?
