Is anyone advocating for nation-scale forced replacement of 2005 Corollas with EVs? Most of what I see are pushes, starting in the 2030s, to limit the sale of new gas/diesel cars, not to force anyone to replace one they already have. The gas/diesel cars will continue to be used until they reach their end of life, which is typically once they hit the point that they cost more to repair than they're worth.
- Symbiote 4y agoSome European cities have announced plans for this. Paris and Amsterdam have announced that from 2030 onwards, only zero-emission vehicles will be allowed to drive in those cities. Depending on your definition, Paris is a nation-scale settlement. (The population is larger than many countries.) Petrol/diesel vehicles will be traded away from such cities as time goes by, and their resale value will decrease. This is already happening for the largest goods vehicles and buses in similar European cities. Mostly, older large diesel vehicles have been banned from large cities, but this gradually extends to all large diesel vehicles, then diesel vans, etc. https://urbanaccessregulations.eu/ https://urbanaccessregulations.eu/ lists many of these restrictions, but it's not the easiest site to navigate.
