How do you think about bans vs incentives when it comes to a situation like this one? I'm generally inclined to believe that making the alternatives so much better that people feel compelled to switch is the best approach, but maybe that's unrealistic for the gas powered car domain.

Not that I have any particular affinity or love for gas powered cars in particular. It's weird to imagine that some day we might end up in a world where gas stations aren't common anymore and you need to go to the Hardware Store or some specialty shop to buy gas.

My other immediate question is: what stops people from buying a car in the next state over and driving it in? At which point this ban might be meant as more of an increased barrier rather than a full ban.
