Hawaii sounds like a good idea. Mostly because a few rental companies own 100% of the cars. Be a good experiment.
But if you're trying to test run for the world, a resort island doesn't prove anything. Israel's just small enough to be feasible. But it's big enough & 'normal' enough to be applicable to most European Countries. It's also got a big advantage that a large number of cars are leased by employers as part of salary packages. Similar advantage to the rentals in Hawaii.
I think there's a need for "If it worked in ___ it could also work in ___". Japan & Korea may do that for China. I'm not sure.
Israel may just do it for a lot of Europe. Even though the fact that Israel has uber high vehicle taxes (I think only Singapore is higher) gives it a huge advantage equivalent to a big subsidy. But in papers & on politicians desks it may not be the same thing.
'Tax Break' sounds better then 'Subsidies.' So a good strategy is finding somewhere with massive taxes.

I'm hoping for Japan or South Korea.
