I think the key here is the specific language... it seems most of the "bans" are really just resolutions declaring intent to start acting on banning ICE in the years each jurisdiction listed. Although it makes a splashy headline, few appear to be hard laws passed saying ICE cannot be sold as of X date.

What I believe will likely happen is increases taxes or financial penalties along with stricter emissions stds over time (along with continued BEV technology improvement) make it more and more attractive to purchase BEV, which leads to additional build out of infrastructure, which leads to making it more attractive to buy BEV, which leads to more infrastructure... etc etc onward until ICEs are relegated to the past.

BEVs with 800 mile range, 5 min charging times, and infrastructure to support the electricity needs will eventually be the norm... someday
