Feels like another decision to appease voters without any plausible plan to reach the goal. We saw the same with the Paris Agreement and the promise of zero emissions by X year or 'becoming net-zero'. There was and is no plan on how to realistically achieve this.

As somebody else mentioned in here, what's the plan for the surge in demand for batteries? Cobalt was one of the mentioned resources but there are other problematic resources required too such as lithium.

It's entirely plagued with flaws.

Look at the trends, in EU already ~10% of new cars are electric. Even without the ban over 90% would be EV-s by 2035. This ban only makes things more predictable for larger players, allowing them to have some certainty as to where to direct investments.

So we will somehow go from 0~10% in ~10 years, to 90~100% in ~10 years?

I can't see that happening.

Wait about 10 years ;)

The percentage of sales has increased roughly 30-50% every year, depending on if someone has just ramped a factory or released a high volume model.

13% last year, 18 this year, 25 next year, 35% the year after, etc.

It goes quickly.
