> Half of Europe has already announced phasing out ICE-based cars in the next 10-15 years, Audi has announced they're shifting off of ICEs These remind me of EU state adherence to carbon reduction targets. I would be - very - suspicious of anything a company in this industry, or a country, promises when they have something to gain from making a target and little or nothing to lose from missing it. > A shift towards fully electric is inevitable Agreed, but keep in mind that electrification itself took 50-60 years to play out. It will eventually happen, but it will happen over several decades.

  > EU progress is on track. The carbon reduction goals adopted in 2008 for the 2020 are being met. I was referencing the 2020 NDC targets (55% by 2030), but fair enough.
