That's correct assuming you have to choose between buying two equally priced cars, one electric and one combustion. But the choice here may be between buying a new electric and a used combustion that costs 1/4 of the price. Or between buying a new electric and keeping the existing car longer. Pretty sure that over the next 10 years at least, the latter two are the cheaper options. |

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.
