I think most of the damage has been done by politicians who used populist rhetoric to set those inane time limits after which "all non-EVs will be banned". That is just stupid politicking that's easy to pass because none of them will be in office by that date. How about having both EVs and ICE?
In some european countries, the amounts being paid as subsidies for EVs are insane. In some parts of italy you get a Tesla for like $8000 . But this winter europe will have trouble charging them, and this model clearly does not scale. Let's focus on installing solar and expanding remote work instead

No. It's still cheaper to charge EV than fuel ICE during non peak hours. Let's stop pretending EV owners only charge on the highway at expensive, fast charging stations.

Completely false.
In Italy, in certain periods and under certain conditions, you get "up to" 6,000 euros of incentives if you buy an EV. You still pay north of 30,000 euros to buy a Tesla Model 3 (the basic model of course) even after incentives.
