EU Lawmakers Pass Ban on New Petrol, Diesel Cars by 2035
[link to www.industryweek.com (secure)]

for technical reference. they are saying they will not allow new petrol/diesel cars to be registered starting 2035

probably way before that most company makers will switch to electric, so they make sure they are able to supple customers after 2035.

theres probably no real way around this other than finding a car you REALLY like and then keeping it in top shape :P

pff 13 years.. i cant even imagine what stuff will have happened before that

no wind today, so i guess we can't drive to the store.

fuck your bull shit green load of crap.

With no nuclear plants in Germany? Wouldn't their power grids collapse if all cars switch to EV?

probably

Green on the outside. Red on the inside.

they line their pockets at our expense and everyone's peril.
fuck them.

they know this isn't sustainable in the long term.

And where do they think they are getting all this money from for this massive shift? Its not just on the car front but the whole green push for heat sink BS that's gonna cost billions in itself.

i wonder if thats the reason or if electric is easier to control?

or maybe to be less dependable on certain regions?

who knows. either way its happening.

i imagine fossil cars might be a status symbol in the future?
like rich people still get to buy them but they only come in super high class?

We will see. or not.. haha lets make it to 2035 first

They'll all be out of office by then and the entire plan will be reversed or the entire EU will have collapsed. It's a great scam to get people to rush out and buy new cars though. Realistically there's no hope of pulling something like this off because the infrastructure doesn't exist and couldn't possibly be built in such a short amount of time. There aren't enough electric cars being made, there are stockpiles of gasoline powered vehicles numbering in the tens of thousands that would all have to be scraped, the charging infrastructure for that many electric vehicles doesn't exist, the grid could never handle the load, the power generation facilities don't exist, the facilities to build enough electric vehicles don't exist and adaption of existing facilities along with training employees would take far to long to meet such a short term goal. Add to all of that there quite literally aren't enough people who would buy an electric vehicle and the entire automotive industry would go under taking millions of jobs and the electric vehicle industry down with it. Quite probably it could take the oil and gas industry down. What's the plan? Hundreds of millions of people with no vehicles, no way to get to work, no way to afford a new vehicle? Collapse the public transportation sector too? Gimme a break. It's a bluff and it's one we've been through before lest everyone forget Obama. The politicians in the EU are all done and they know it, the EU itself is done and they know it. They'll go but until they do, they'll keep yanking everyones chain and pandering for every penny they can stuff in their pockets.

most likely easier to control, and the giant pay offs they are getting.

yea. literally everything that went through my mind too.
specially the EU specific parts like the collapse and the politicians etc.

eu collapse is the best thing that could happen to europe.

I vote to ban the EU by 2025.

Good luck with that. Lithium will be worth mort than platinum per gram when you are 1/2 the way there. The car battery will cost 20 million +.

HEY, MORAN...

BIG difference between "new', and 'ALL'...

Though YOU appear to be stupid enough to NOT understand the difference.


.

Reminds me of an old sci-fi made for tv movie from back in the 80's where everybody was driving little electric shitboxes. I can't remember the name.

and what do they propose after that donkey cartsblithering idiots much like the ones we got in washington

Brandon will probably sign an "executive order" to ban them by 2024.

wont last

Fuck off with your realism we're trying to build a dreamworld here

He is on to us

They want Europeans on the grid it’s all about control.

NEW cars only? or are they going to ban EXISTING USED CARS from being registered too if they are already owned or transferred?

Of course as gasoline /diesel cars become fewer and fewer finding a gas station to refuel the old style vehicles may become VERY problematic.
