> You have to replace it with something better and let the lions share of the changeover be voluntary. Only then is it realistic to ban the remnants.

Yeah, but replacing it with something better needs a lot of capital-intensive work to be done first.

The industry has a lot more incentive to perform that work now if the government sends a strong signal that only companies that did the work (eg switched to producing electric cars) will make money in the future.

Well that's why we have subsidies on electric car though. In canada it's almost a 10k$ discount so it does give all carmakers an incentive to fill that niche because the increased cost of an electric vehicule is partially covered by the gov.
