Hmm...I'm not sure you're 100% correct there. It seems likely that the long term goal will be to switch from private ownership of cars, EV or not, and switch to automated roaming vehicles like personal electric taxi/buses wherever possible. Cities cannot absorb many more vehicles? It seems somewhat similar to CD ownership vs streaming?

I'm 100% certain the UK government's actual plan to force all new cars to be electric in a few year's time is more of an influence on a fossil fuel supplier acquiring UK car charging networks than your own speculation about a post-car world. Sure, there's no certainty the world won't be restructured to allow everybody to pool AGI taxis, but that's not really a factor in Shell backing EVs against the petroleum it made its fortune with.
