Because around half of the EU (and an even larger share of Europe) has next to zero EV infrastructure in place. Banning ICE cars would be banning cars, period.
If ‘lots’ is France, Germany, and Switzerland, then yeah, maybe.
I’m Norwegian, and I’ve had two rowdtrips to the northern part of Italy with two different ECS, a Hyundai Kona some five years ago and a Tesla Model 3 two years ago. No stress, only Italy was a little bit weak five years ago. So things are definitely improving
Define ‘lots’.

they passed that law in 2022 with a ban for 2035. that is more than enough time to build infrastructure.
Only new ICE cars are banned. Those newly registered before 2035 are still allowed to be driven. You can keep buying used ICE cars just fine.
good policy
I agree.
That’s false. Infrastructure quality varies but it is no problem to drive electric across all of the EU.

UK does or did. Lack of infrastructure be dammed.
