Too little and too late. Draconian measures are necessary to push automakers into compliance and to push consumers to buy. It's expensive unless we want to sell out to China completely, but necessary and in the end, affordable.

Electric grid is incapable of 1:1 switching to EVs from gas/diesel vehicles. If you want to collapse economy, just enforce it with your draconian measures.

Nobody is planning for this magical instant 1 to 1 switch to EV. It will happen gradually.

Most of the world is playing catch up with Norway (97% EV market share) - if their grid will handle the transition then it is possible. If it will not then others will prepare better.
