So really, if you stop selling fuel powered cars in 2045 it still could take up to 2070 to completely phase out the need for gasoline.

You can’t just force people into EV’s
The report/study/re-examination of Site C by a consulting firm that was ordered when the NDP took power estimated that approximately 22% of new vehicle sales in BC would be EVs by 2030.

Essentially the study found that, without the three major LNG plants that got canned (1 came back), it's a huge waste, but since we're half done, it's essentially at a tipping point where it could either be continued or stopped for roughly similar long-term costs.
