While I think it's great that they've set a date, I think it's perhaps a little premature.

Tesla has some nice options, Renault and other have to, they are all either in the high price range or to small for a family to use as the their only car. The number of alternatives on the marked seems a bit limited, and I don't think nine years is enough to remedy that.

Also what are they going to do in respect to charges, will they mandate that all manufacturers use the same plug?

There are alternatives to fossil fuels besides EV.

Also, fossil fuel based cars will not be banned. The goal only applies to new cars. In Norway, people on average keep their cars for 15 years or so, due to the high cost of owning a car (cars are taxed heavily here).
