Japan Announces 2035 ICE Ban - Long live the Z

Like Asus mentioned - the world isn't loving EVs - they are loving Teslas. The govt can ban the sale of new ICE mobiles but how about the infrastructure to fuel those EVs - does that mean eventually we will see gas stations turn into a combination of the 2 - gas stations on one side and then EV fueling on the other? One of the greatest accomplishments and reasons to buy a Tesla is their super charge fueling stations so one can make a trip from CA to FL and know you won't be stranded bc of the fueling station network they have built.

Overall I think the EV will be the only vehicle sold eventually thus phasing out the ICE mobile - but....I think it will be much longer than we expect (not bc of a lack of technology) but bc of the cost associated with it. Just think the govt offered huge rebates on taxes if you got an EV but even like that - how many EVs have been purchased bc of that govt subsidy - not as many as they would have hoped and EVs are still expensive even with the govt subsidy.
We might see something like hybrid engines where vehicles that are traveling under a certain MPH - use a hybrid engine but after you hit a certain speed - it uses gas to circumvent the 'ban of ICE mobiles'
