You don’t even need to subsidies electric. You just need to tax all carbon and pollution at the actual cost to society.
The only reason petrol is preferred elsewhere is due to the lack of infrastructure. You can get petrol/gas everywhere. Charging your car is less reliable and needs effort to find. While it’s not really a problem for most people’s driving habits day to day, it’s a perceived problem.
As energy prices continue to rise and solar continues to drop, it will become more and more economical to have electric car and solar charging.
It is not just lack of enough infrastructure, but it is more foundational so that The Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes/Owners have members who own oil & gas monopolizing companies.
Yes, that’s what subsidies the oil and gas but it’s the external expenses to society that are the biggest subsidy. That’s what carbon taxes or carbon trading schemes are designed to address. This, the true cost makes oil and gas uneconomical compared to green energy.
It’s like Walmart underpaying their workers, so they are entitled to food aid. The tru cost of living is not reflected in their wages. We all end up subsidizing the company instead of them paying their fair share.

Carbon trading schemes are just scams, to avoid paying what they owe.
Other than that we agree on the rest.
