Reminds me when the gov’t did NOT ban incandescent light bulbs. They simply wrote efficiency standards that were so strict that the laws of physics meant an incandescent bulb could never meet the standard. So we had to put up with the execrable ice-cream-cone fluorescents. The LED lights are finally providing a somewhat acceptable substitute, but I still have my hoard of incandescent light bulbs to use in my reading lamp.

They will simply tax gas up the wazzoo, and force gas station owners to comply. Many will stop providing gas, so with fewer gas stations, lines will be impossibly long. Then insurance companies will raise rates on ICE vehicles. So basically they will squeeze people into getting EVs.

Back then I loaded up on incandescent bulbs. I thought I had a 20-year supply. I’m now down to my last several. :-(
