He means, of course, government force, inconsistently applied.

For some reason, those who favor forcing people to do things – such as buying things – avoid using honest language to articulate what they favor. The speak of asking when they really mean ordering – and you'd better obey their orders. They use such language for the obvious reason and also because it weakens people's resolve to resist. Why, we're just asking after all! What sort of person refuses an ask?

See how that works?

That's why the BOA analyst speaks of inconsistent support when what he really means is the government hasn't been forceful enough in pushing people into EVs. It merely pushed them into mass production via "emissions" and "mileage" regulations that egg-on the manufacturing of EVs for compliance' sake rather than because there is market demand for the things. He thinks the government should push battery powered devices on people who do not want them even more aggressively – as by winnowing down alternatives to them – and that it should also force people to pay  (via taxes) for the "infrastructure" – EV charging networks – that would supposedly induce more people to buy devices.
