The promise seems to be like drunken words said to a lover at midnight!The countries that have promised to ban the sales of petrol/diesel cars by a certain year are not the only market for car manufacturers.
Other countries that have made no such promises will just become the target market for these vehicles instead.
The car companies will instead tailor their products towards the markets they have, so expect to see a glut of new EV models for the UK (and similar markets) while places like India continue to grow as a market and also benefit from the continuing drop in the cost of fossil fuels as demand from 'western' markets dwindles.
The UK is nowhere near ready for the change over and won't be for decades , a more sensible approach albeit slower would have been to change over to hybrid cars and allow the infrastructure to develop from there
