If the choice is between a diesel or an EV then we should insentivise the EV. However direct subsidies for buying cars probably won’t work as well as widening access to charging. I see they are trying to make the process of adapting pavements for curbside charging easier which I think will help more.
Charging from the socket is about a tenth the cost of public charging infrastructure and with solar it becomes functionality free.

Where did you see the curb side charging stuff?
I hoped you had another source, but thank you.
