Sort of like talking gun control leads to an actual increase in gun sales.
Then people will invent a generator hitch so you can run an attached ICE generator to charge the car all night parked in front of your apartment or all day in front of your work with no charging outlets.
At some point in 2050 when everything is actually ready to be 100% EV they will point to the success. Even if every other state that just let the market happen also ends up in the same place
Then in 2051 China nukes us anyway.

Of course that's how it would play out if the bill actually took effect.
It wasn't designed to take effect though, it was designed as free virtue points to show that "we're fighting for climate justice,
pay no attention to the feces in the streets". The 2 parties both try to think of the dumbest ideas they can, score points for their constituents who are playing the same retarded game, and let the future figure out how to handle the fallout.
Free Bentley's for everyone in the year 2050! We'll make Mexico pay for it! Vote for me! All your wildest dreams will come true!
