Probably makes sense if i'm honest but I guess it will only ban new cars, so will make ours more valuable/collectable?

3 things spring to mind.

1. 2030 is a long (long) way away
2. It will only apply to new car sales, so buy your big V8 (and then keep it) whilst you can
3. Its no bad thing.

Electric is the future.

Shit load of solar panels on your roof, decent sized house battery/power wall, and an electric car to take care of business.

Buy/keep a decent petrol engined car whilst you can, and enjoy. It will be better for everyone's health, too.

Once someone can get a genuine 500+km from a single charge on a family sized electric car (that doesnt cost the bloody earth to buy), im having one. I had my solar system installed on the house this year in prep, and will follow up with a powerwall system once the prices soften a little.

Never gonna happen. Infact by 2030 most cars will be electric, or flying.

Never did like Europe, anyway :p
You should now. If they actually do that (ban NEW gas powered cars), we should be able to sell our used US cars in Europe for double what we paid new, such will be the demand.

Let's be honest, and no offence to any German contributors to this forum, their judgement of recent in many matters has not exactly been on the mark!

Ideology is one thing... reality is another.

I'm looking forward to the full electric car world. Some of the tech already around now is amazing. Just look at Tesla. And then the super car end from the likes of Rimac and koenigsegg is so exciting. Yes the noise ain't there but that power is not to be messed with.

Koeni use rimac batteries. But yes, electric power is insane. I'd bet a lot of money that a Model X will beat any of our stangs.

Electric is great. There just isn't a source I can tolerate yet. When whatever stores or produces the electricity in the car weighs the same or less than a tank of gas, then I'll consider.

Equally; a few more charging stations would be needed :lol:

Wonder what economic and political impact would be of the collapse of oil companies and how government will tax home generated solar or wind power?

I thought most electric power stations made electricity by burning non renewable fossil fuels anyway?

But I can see electric cars becoming more widespread I don't think the petrol car will just end though

Probably see Shell, BP, Tesco, Sainsburys etc with full electric and the odd 1 petrol pump. Probably charge u to use them. :lol:
