I don't think it's a matter of #optimistic vs. #pessimistic. It's that the #engineering, #infrastructure, #economics, #population, population #density, and #remoteness of #France are utterly #unlike what they are here in the #prairies.
2 years? Not possible here. If we wanted to replace 80% of ICE vehicles with BEVs, we need major electrical #generation and #transmission upgrades. I'm #guesstimating it it started today, it would take 20 years.

Please, do come here. Tour the province. See the places you're making assumptions about. Appreciate the engineering challenges that you're so casually brushing aside without any knowledge to base that on. Ponder the things you're saying "just do this" which are literally, physically impossible in the places you're suggesting we do them without ever having heard of them, much less seen them.
