- ed_balls 8y agoPoliticians like to create laws and make promises about the distant future which they cannot be held accountable for. If they would really care they would tax all vehicles except electric and hybrids starting from 2025 and increase the tax every year, so be 2030 no one would buy pure ICE car unless they absolutely have to.
