True, but this is why the ban comes in 8 years from now, and at that point is still only a ban on new sales. The policy is designed to facilitate a steady shift, not the sudden plugging of 16 million cars into the national grid tomorrow.
What will be telling will be how many more chargers there are in another 5 years, how well the on-street overnight charging issue has been addressed, and how the national grid's capacity has been increased.
