It can't be achieved on current form. People are twigging that they'll be caught short on long journeys, particularly when the en-route garages have their chargers already engaged with a half-hour wait or, worse, broken.

Public demand for hybrid petrol vehicles will likely force the government's hand to relent on the deadline date.

Trouble is, if the government doesn't smell the coffee soon enough, manufacturers will have reduced or stopped petrol car manufacturing.
