Leaving exotic sport cars aside Europe will not be ready for the ban of new ICE cars in 12 years. Most consumers can't afford an EV, the electricity production is not there yet, the distribution grids are undersized, a lot of people living in old apartment buildings that can't support many chargers, a lot of people park on the street, so on and so forth.

When the ban hits the price of second hand ICE cars will explode. This will mean in practice that a lot of people will not be able to afford a car any more. Now this might be a feature, not a bug, depending on how you look at it.
