Yeah that makes sense - it's the same in fuel efficiency actually. The new goal for 2022 is for manufacturers selling in the EU to have an overal fleet average

Yeah that makes sense - it's the same in fuel efficiency actually. The new goal for 2022 is for manufacturers selling in the EU to have an overal fleet average of 50g of CO2/km, and that's just physically not possible with just a pure ICE car. Manufacturers have to transition either to full EVs or plug in hybrids at the very least, or they have to pay absolutely draconian fines for every gram of CO2/km over the limit. In that sense the norm is also higher than anything currently possible with existing technology(in terms of what a pure ICE car can do).
