I guess it will be great in the wealthier countries. Here in Spain the reason EV's are incredibly rare is simply the cost.
And rather than making them more affordable the Government just makes ICE vehicles more expensive to use, which is almost a regressive tax on those too poor to afford an EV. Especially given in many areas it's not really optional given public transport may be unreliable or non-existent.
you could elect people who will expand public transport... we did it, went from 4 buses a day to an hourly schedule, middle Mosel region Germany, come by our wine is better =P
I lived in Germany for some months in University.
The trains there are amazing, it really feels like you can get just about anywhere by train. In Spain, we have good connections between major cities but you can't really use them to go on day-trips to places like the castles or the salt mines or whatever.
