Three, it will impact the less well off far more than the relatively rich
This aspect is too often glossed over. Here in France roughly a third of the population lives in flats, and it's usually the "less-fortunate". In particular social housing (housing provided by the state) is almost entirely flats. Recharging the EV of the people who live in flats is going to require a lot of infrastructure changes, and so far I have seen absolutely no action in that direction. This 2035 deadline has some pretty unpleasant "let them eat cake" implications, and could spill into some horrible class warfare when the well-off are driving around in their electric SUVs while the rest are told to give up their car and ride an electric scooter.
