When you write simple arguments like "totally unprepared" you get simple answers. I have written long posts explaining how none of these issues is a game stopper before so I don't see the need to repeat them in a bit off-topic thread.
What I find extremely funny is when you are arguing with them from the position of a country with close to no EVs when I sit in a country with the highest number of EVs per capita in the world and explosive EV growth the last years. Just perhaps there is a chance that here it's actually possible to see how big the issues are or not?
No you don't need centrally planned economy to solve them. When the number of EVs starts to increase "the market" however abstract it may sound solves them. Ex. when you have many EVs on the road and many people need charging, charging stations start to be build commercially or become a "necessity" that customers ask for at hotels, parking places of enterprises and petrol stations! Sure in the end somebody has to pay, that does not make them unsolvable. And yes for 60-30% of people (depending on country) that have own parking place with electricity there is really nothing else they need for just about all daily driving.
The only major thing that really limits EVs is price.
As to the speed of the change, in 2018 there were some 15 mil cars sold in Europe, the total number of registered was some 290 mil. So even if all new sold cars were EVs (which won't happen for quite a few years if ever), it would by simple calculation take some 10 years to get to 50% and that's not realistic at all. With a slower rate of change there is also a long time to solve issues as they come.
