I don’t disagree with your pessimism, but at the same time 9 years is an eternity to just install electrical infrastructure. Hopefully laws like this will put a fire under people’s asses.

On the other side, would anyone start a business to lay power cables under the sidewalks of a city and create tens of thousands of charging points and be able to start selling it fully only in 2030? Probably not unless countries, states or cities pay for the setup. Will they start doing it closer to 2030 if they see that the adoption of EV is ramping up? More likely.
