I wouldn't worry (yet). The politicians make these claims but they never hit the targets. California has been doing this for years. The ZEV programme in California run by CARB (never did work out if the name is meant to be ironic) has been going since 1990 and they are continually shifting the goalposts.

I worked for a company doing electric vehicles in 1995 and it is amusing that 25 years later all the same questions keep coming up. Batteries and motors have improved greatly since that time but many of the same issues are there. I find it amusing that people keep suggesting that all those cars plugged into the grid can be used as supplementary storage putting power back into it if the need arises as if that's a new idea. The company I was at was doing that back then.
