You can't mandate a technology that doesn't work unless you have other goals in mind.
We (I'm Canadian) don't have the electricity infrastructure, nor will we by 2035. Danielle Smith and Scott Moe have been shouting this until they're blue in the face but the feds are so driven by dogma they don't listen. Here in B.C. we have good answers, 98% of our electricity is generated by hydro dams, but we need a lot more capacity. Big capacity, Site C-level, not solar farms that don't generate at night or in the winter.
In time the technology will be useful and cost-effective and people will adopt it. EVs have their attractions - I'd be happy to have one as an around-town runabout if I had somewhere to plug it in at home - but they're not there yet. I look forward to the day when they will be. They have a lot to offer.
