The former is unnecessary. They just need to ensure that electric vehicles are more affordable and people will switch over gradually.
The latter, public transportation varies from country to country. Some, like Japan, China, and many European countries, have excellent public transportation options. Some, like the USA, have dogshit or nonexistent public transportation. A framework for getting funding for public transportation projects, maybe from taxes on carbon emissions for example, would be awesome though.
I disagree because most dedicated electric cars come with a shit ton of sensors which give all that juicy data to third parties. Older cars have less of a problem with that. Also, personally, I’m happy with my car, just want to convert it, I don’t want to get a whole new one.
Sure, I agree. I have nothing against electric cars per se, but I think both methods should exist to be able to get one. Afaiu my older car has fewer sensors and no connections to access it remotely.
I cannot currently be sure any electric car will be the same, so until privacy laws for cars come in where they are forced to not even add those sensors/remote data extraction I would prefer to just convert my current car. There should be an option for governments to pay for conversion for those of us who prefer that method.
Besides, it’s better to keep a car than scrap it for a new one. I’d rather not just scrap a perfectly good car just because someone somewhere decided I should get a new electric rather than be able to convert an existing one with financial help.
Okay, pay for our cars to be changed to battery-powered ones.
Also make public transport better and run by governments only, that is the only way to make them accessible and affordable.

Yeah, that’s the problem, sadly.
This is true of all cars, not just electric cars. Plus, this is not an argument against EVs. It’s an argument for privacy.
