All wishful thinking and putting up links to an auomotive magazine is hardly a balanced view.
You seem to think that the phasing out of ICE is going to be delayed or deferred 2030 – 2035,
You are wrong, it is going to be brought forward.
This year 2023 is hte first year of a full degree increase in average global climate Temps sine the 1970’s. The trend is ANOTHER degree increase by 2030. IT is THAT fast.
The removal of ICE will be brought forward for ONE reason.
The Furious temperatures seen in North America and Southern Europe these past 3 weeks. It is not over yet and this will re-focus the minds of the EU members and thus the UK to cutting emissions. Europe is essentially burning.
Give it a few weeks and see what stance the Govt’s take regarding ICE and renewable energy.
You think they are going to extend the date for removal od ICE vehicles? No, they will make 2030 the END of ICE, completely.
Not just new veicles but ALL vehicles.
Just watch what happens in the UK in the next few weeks. The fires in Greece will fire up these stupid ‘Just stop oil’ thugs.
It is like a call to arms for them…expect them to be very very active in the next few weeks…
