Or make other changes that make it possible for more people to do away with cars- better mass transit, better pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, less urban sprawl, more condensed housing options, etc

The point is that there are many locations and situations where this is not really realistic, and that "more condensed housing" takes a century.

So practically and politically it is not possible to hit cars in general. Encourage alternatives where-ever possible but realise that there are not always alternatives and in those cases people should not be penalised for driving. Instead there should be support to transition to EV.

Yeah, I suspect it's going to be more people packed into smaller areas, and massive investments in public transport infrastructure. There's going to be a lot of people who don't buy it.
