I suspect that many are hoping that ICE cars will be more expensive and less popular by the time their ban rolls around.

Activists, maybe, but politician's only hopes are about reelection, not environment.

Politicians really hope that too; that way if they're still in power the technical ban will be nothing more than an interesting note than anything that actually needs to be done.
