Bangernomics
One, so far unmentioned, problem with forcing a transition to battery electric [1] cars is that it is a hidden tax on the future poor.
For the last 20 years or more, second, third and nth-hand cars have been relatively cheap (compared with the historical average/minimum wage) but still relatively reliable (compared with new vehicles) which enables many of the lowest paid to either (a) travel to a job in the first place or (b) travel to a second job - enabling them to hold down two when one alone would not pay enough.
Electric battery cars put an end to this 'bangernomics' model because the bit that wears out first is the vital, but expensive to replace battery.
