Exactly. But this is still not too bad, as it sends a clear message that petrol and diesel cars will be banned in the not too distant future, so the car makers need to start getting ready for that right now. I'm also hoping that governments who use 2040 as a deadline are also willing to revise it if by 2025 we already have 20% of the cars on the market as EVs, with over 50% of the sales being EVs.
- tonyedgecombe 9y agoMy guess is the decision was driven from the opposite direction, the government probably asked the car manufacturers when they think they will no longer be making cars with internal combustion engines, then announced that as the cutoff date.
- 4ndr3vv 9y agoAgreed. Its no surprise that it's the same date France announced for the a similar policy earlier this month.
