If a car is plugged into the electricity grid to charge, then it is running on electricity generated by fossil fuels / nuclear energy 85% of the time, because that's where 85% of our electricity comes from.
I don't like the use the term "virtue signalling" but that's what this policy sounds like. By the time 2040 rolls around, there could be any number of reasons this won't either able to or be needed to be enacted.
