I am not worried at all. I am 66 years old. I will be dead before any of what you are linking to actually happens.
There are a few things to consider though. Current battery technology is not enough. There has to be a revolutionary, not evolutionary breakthrough. Plus you have the increased strain on electric grids which will have to be upgraded to handle the additional needs of electric cars. And BTW there are two parts to these bans: first is all new cars can't have an ICE. Then you have to deal with all the existing ICE equipped cars. It will take decades before they are traded in for a new model.
And then you have Big Oil. You really think they will sit by and do nothing?
California has always "lead the charge" when it comes to auto emissions. They had the A.I.R. system two years before it became mandatory. Yet CA is still today referred to as the "Smog State."
Politicians can make great speeches but the voters control what happens. And if there is one state in the USA that is dependent on the car for transportation it's CA.
Everyone likes "going green" until their life is disrupted by it. Then they holler and scream at the top of their lungs.
