    And that is the problem with an EV.
    Electric powered vehicles are fine for short journeys driving in towns and cities where there are plenty of charging points.
    However they are no use if you want to drive a long journey without having to stop to charge up your electric powered car assuming that you can find a charging point en route.
    Most people want to get from A to B as quickly as possible not to have to stop a couple of times during their journey to recharge your the batteries in their EV.
    Where is the electricity going to come from to charge all these EVs after the sale of new petrol and diesel powered cars is banned in 2030.
    It will not be from solar panels and wind turbines which do not work in periods of calm weather and during the hours of darkness.

    There's no way the sale of petrol and diesel cars will be outlawed by 2030, the technology to overcome the issues you've highlighted won't exist and governments will need the duty raised from oil and gas production and petrol and diesel consumption for many decades yet.

    Its a green pipe dream to ban the sale of fossil fuel burning cars.
