Youโ€™re not wrong that more chargepoints help, it reduces EV resistance and range concerns, and hence helps consumers be willing to buy EVs.

It wonโ€™t stop legacy ICE lobbying to delay mandatory cutoff on ICE sales.

They (collectively) have $trillions invested in ICE factories and engine designs etc that become valueless when ICE are banned. As VW found out leveraging existing factories is ineffective, you need to build for EV manufacture, which means billions in written off assets and years of delay for legacy auto.

If they can convince any market to delay the ban thatโ€™s literally dollars in the bank and bonuses in pocket.
