Well sure, but there's no suggestion of converting "all cars" to EVs "immediately". Even if ICE cars were banned for new sales tomorrow, it'd still take a decade and more for the existing rolling stock to gradually be replaced by new vehicles.
A 10 year period for utility companies to gradually upgrade their infrastructure doesn't sound desperately unrealistic.
China built an international train system in less, surely something that's basically a fancy outlet can be well executed by the Greatest Nation
