Only Western countries could be so stupid as to try to ban the sale of new petrol/diesel cars in 15 years time.
But restricting them from certain city centres might have some merit.
The leaders of developing nations are not going to deliberately harm their own economies or their own citizens.

I also thought when living some years ago when living in Delhi. The municipality announced less than a year before it became reality the ban of 2stroke taxis (3-wheelers), everybody doubted it but they ratified it consequently, that day all Honda, Tata and other brands supplying 4strokers had been sold out!!!

You might be, but I certainly hope I will not be in just 15 years. I hope to be around a lot longer than that! And active! And driving too.

I'm 68, but I still feel like a 24-year-old.
This one would be nice.

Yes, Steve.
It's insane. Especially as it's being touted as a solution to tackle an imaginary problem. It (electricity) will cost four times the price of gas. Meanwhile, a certain developing country's government is acting in the best interests of their country and its citizens. Indonesia's population is over 270 million. (World's fourth largest.)

In my case, a credit card would certainly not be enough.

But I can dream.

Sale of new Petrol & Diesel only cars to be banned from 2035

Post by AH1951 »

Back on topic.
If they ban sales of new petrol & diesel cars in 2035 (I doubt they really will, but just suppose.) then you can buy a new petrol or diesel car in 2034. And drive it for 20 years.
(Petrol & diesel fuels will still be needed for motorcycles, trucks & lawnmowers for a very long time.) That takes us to 2054.
But by that time, the entire Climate Change scam will be exposed and we'll all be freezing to death.
And I'll be 103 years old.
:) :) :)
And banning hybrids would be really stupid.
