The demand in the EU and UK Cars for existing models which do not have speed limit restrictions will be healthy.
From my understanding any Newly launched models from 6th of June 2022 have to be fitted with a speed limiter.
Of course the other reasons due to a shortage of second hand models and new models manufactured recently help
With ICE cars soon being banned from being sold in 2030 just eight years time.
So a well renovated, tried, tested and trusted existing model will suffice for many users. While Toyota save on R&D.
Live in the middle of nowhere or no charging point near your residence? Simply want a car which is not as "restricted"? Plenty of customers will have a refurbed non restricted ICE car, even if a 2021 model years later.

- Tade0 5y agoI read the proposal. It argues for making the accelerator "heavier" when over the speed limit. For safety (and political) reasons the driver will have full control over the throttle at all times.

- srg0 5y agoI would be happy if no one could speed under my windows. Difference between 50 kmh and 30 kmh is equivalent to 50% noise reduction (~ -5 dB). And tyre noise becomes dominant just a little over 30 kmh (20 mph). https://workinggroupnoise.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/leafletlayout_v2_simplecover_final.pdf https://workinggroupnoise.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/leafle...
