If you think about the kind of development schedules auto manufacturers do, this makes some sense. A lot of manufacturers seem to do a major refresh of a model every 5 to 10 years and and do incremental updates in between every year or two, so putting this kind of sunset on it says to each manufacturer that it doesn’t make sense to do more than about one major refresh or new model of ICE car. So this will see new models getting fairly scarce by 2030 I think. By then, they might keep a couple of lines going for those few years, but basically 100% of the new and exciting cars will be electric. (This is assuming similar laws in most Western markets).
