You don't need to build all the infrastructure before you introduce electric cars, but you don't ban ICE cars before you have everything built for electric vehicles.
Otherwise, we've done that with many areas, including ICE cars... we didn't forbid horses, cars were just better, and gas stations, repair shops, etc. followed the needs of the drivers.
We also didn't ban kerosine/whale oil/... lamps, we just built the electric infrastructure and people used electric, because it was better, cleaner, etc.
So, build power plants, to bring electricity prices down, since they're already way above the pre-covid era, build more charging station, fix the grid, so people have incentives to put solar on their roofs, build charing stations and incentivise private sector to build them too (in parking lots where workers park). So, cheap and conventient (car charging while at work, for cheper than gasoline) and people will slowly switch. Once enough people drive electric, the others will follow, since there will be less and less gas stations, less ICE cars available in general, etc.
A few years ago buying an electric car was great... the office building i work in built 2 charging spots right by the entrance, and you could charge your car there for free, and it was right by the entrance and reserved for electic cars. So one guy bought an electric car and we were all jelaous... free energy, premium parking spot. Then another guy did the same, and they both parked there. Then someone else bought one too, and tree cars, to charging stations, and one of them coulndn't charge his car anymore. One of them would literally come way too early just to get a charging spot, while the third one had to wait for one of them to leave, to charge his car for an hour or two atleast. With hundreds and thousands of electric cars, the situation is even worse.
