This kind of ban only makes sense with dense electrical and infrastructure penetration. Good luck convincing people in the country to give up four wheel drive and switch to a vehicle where fuel cannot be stashed.



...And that's why it was banned in big cities, which have famously bad air pollution problems. As opposed to the country.


So in many countries, there's this thing called "park and ride", which allows people to park on the edge of the city and catch a bus in instead of driving their vehicles into the city. That's a more than suitable solution to the problem of people outside the city needing gasoline-powered vehicles while the city bans them.


... because people in the country don't have electricity?


...They have to drive farther.
