I live in Vietnam and they are piloting a similar program now with the intention on going full electric by 2030 (not going to happen). Most people ride motorbikes here anyway, so switching to electric bikes wouldn't actually be too hard. There are 7-11 like connivence stores with a wall of batteries that you can exchange without needing to recharge yours (which is an option as well).
I could see an all electric urban environment here faster than in the states if only because driving a car is not the norm. If high density urban environments prioritized two wheel transportation it would be much quicker to transition.
