Probably like most other countries, there's a sensible way to do things if the country is governed well.

Then, there's the ridiculous way that occurs when different sections of a country are pulling in opposite directions, without being well guided by the governing power.

If car companies can make more money short term by not switching to EV, they will. They don't care that consumers and the country would have a cheaper time with EVs. Also there's all the fuel companies that stand to lose a lot of money when we make the switch to EV.
