> adding a carbon tax to make ICE vehicles less appealing

Taxes are already built in, heavily so — on fuel, registrations, etc.

The #1 way to push the stick would be to dramatically raise fuel prices.

I'm personally an overall fan of ICEV over EV, but if you wanted to do it, raising fuel prices at the exact moment ICEVs in the U.S. are becoming bigger & heavier would greatly increase the incentive to move to EV.
