That's at least 10 years too late for sales of new cars, unless they means hybrid. I don't think any new car should be gas-powered after 2030. And Volvo is already doing it 11 years earlier. I guess they may change that goal later, and it could be just a "signal" that these governments are taking banning of gas-powered cars seriously, but at the same time they don't want the car makers to freak out.

This is also a signal to consumers, as the government casts a definite vote of confidence towards electric vehicles, which may help drive EV sales up today, instead of making them freak out over a short deadline and reject EV out of it.

- twothamendment 9y agoHybrids, in my opinion, are the next logical step for the masses. A pure electric vehicle has range and charge time issues that keep many of us from considering them. Plug in hybrids make the transition even easier.
