Denmark for one as I understand it.

Odd that it should be the King of Wind country that stops the subsidies and sees sales fall.

Whereas Denmark's neighbour Norway (the butt of many a Scandinavian joke telling session, hydro-electric powered and with huge Oil and Gas revenues for a relatively small population) subsidises electric cars to the point where almost everyone (it sometimes seems) buys a Tesla.

There's not much point in getting too concerned about the world moving to electric cars.

Governments want electric whether it suits their country or not. It will happen. It will take between 10 and 20 years. (There probably cannot be enough manufacturing capacity to make it happen faster).

Whether it is the right thing to do won't matter. It will happen.
