I’ve took delivery of a Ford Kuga FHEV almost 3 weeks ago and can’t believe they want to ban these types of cars.
Most industry experts are saying exactly the same as you. Sadly, we are led by incompetents who think that by imposing targets they can force everyone into EVs, even though most people don’t want one and they aren’t cost effective or practical for those who cannot charge at home or at work. Reality will gradually kick in as the shortfall gap between ZEV mandates and reality widens (it’s already happening) and the goalposts will move. They will have no choice but to move them, but stubbornness and the fear of being accused of yet another U-turn will mean that they will put this off for as long as they can!
