Obsolete is a pretty strong term, as is the date:
"Come 2032, not all cars will be ultra-low emission, but Scotland hopes that the majority will either be powered purely by electricity or have a hybrid option."
Good goal, bad headline.
- andygates 9y ago"Obsolescent" is the right word, but it doesn't have the zing.
- cag_ii 9y agoObsolete does not mean nonexistent. If the goal as the article claims is to "phase out all petrol and diesel car sales", then obsolete seems about right.
- djrogers 9y agoObsolete is defined as: "no longer produced or used; out of date." No longer sold in Scotland does not equate to no longer produced or used, and even at that they do not actually plan to forbid sales of ICE vehicles by 2032.
