Subsidies are (slowly) being reduced, and are only on business owners with higher value vehicles to begin with - doesnt seem to have affected sales so faR but as I say, its a very slow rollback.

I think its an experience thing, apparently >90% of EV owners say they will replace with another EV, as they become more popular more people are realising particularly the chinese examples are actually capable and good value and having a full tank every morning 1/10th normal cost is a win too.

I can easily see it being 80-90% electric here within 10 years, as it stands it feels like half the cars you see are EVs, the numbers say less than 50% of new sales are ICE.
