How are they doing on developing public transportation infrastructure, though? That is going to be far more impactful longterm, and is the only way to build a sustainable transportation network.

Trains in Nordic have been electric for a generation, starting from 60's.

Busses have been mostly electric in my knowledge about 10 years, I think most of them are ran by electric motor, which is charged with diesel if batteries run out.

Trams and metros have been electric for last 100 years.
