the choice here may be between buying a new electric and a used combustion that costs 1/4 of the price
This is why targeting new car sales, instead of fleet composition, is the best strategy. Despite the latter being the closer input to emissions.
ICE vehicles at and above EVs, in price and capability, should not have a market. Those EVs should then have the opportunity to decrease in price through both economies of scale and learning curves, on one hand, and the emergence of used vehicles, on the other hand.

Too bad they're ignoring the opportunity. And laying off people because sales have gone down :)
