The sale of all gas-powered cars should probably be banned more like by 2030. I figure there will be plenty of cheap EVs by then.

However, even these conservative policy roadmaps are helpful because at least they give a warning to the industry that they need to start developing and advancing EV tech right now and not wait another say 10 years to start.

Agreed. I want to see a lot more investment in public transit as well.

too little too late but better than nothing.

If "too late" basically means the planet rapidly and inexorably tailspins into our global extinction, how is this better than nothing?

I think "too late" could mean "too late to avoid a massively destructive economic catastrophe" without meaning "global extinction".

2040? That won't fly, next presidents will push that date probably. Current president wasn't even elected.
