Europe is delusional and all they will achieve is crashing their own economy, which, granted, will actually reduce their emissions.
But I somehow doubt people will like it very much. Populists are already having a field day, and the green poverty just barely started biting ...

Most places in western Europe have efficient, effective, and affordable public transportation. Car ownership in the EU is around 0.53 per resident.

I don't think the quality ot public transport in Hungary, Latvia or Romania has anything to do with their low car density.

It’s kind of ironic that someone calls themselves “colonise Mars” but thinks that going from 30% to 100% of new car sales being electric in 13 years is too intimidating and ambitious.

EVs are already cheaper and are still getting cheaper. Whole combustion cars get bigger and more expensive

Lol You don't get a car like a Tesla for 20k. Maybe a small ugly car

What a stupid sticking comparison. Then you could say that ICE vehicles cost ten times as much as ICE vehicles because super sport cars exist

That is true. And they will.
But you seem to be forgetting one tiny detail - you need electricity generation to power EVs, and Europe HATES any construction of power plants, idiots as they are.
Sure there are some cool-looking wind turbines in german seas and few flacks of solar, but that won't power up a continent in winter. Not even close.
