Noway to ban ICE sales from 2025

[Gregs24]

Norway will ban the sales of all internal combustion engine cars from 2025. All electric or Hydrogen only after that date. UK moving the date forward as well to just after 2030.

The next Mustang will be the last V8 powered one for sure now and even that will only have a short run in some countries.

That's great will help with residuals on Mustang in UK come 2030!

considering Norway's primary source of income in oil... This is hilarious.

I suspect Norway is WAY ahead of the UK, and many other European countries when it comes to charging infrastructure.

The UK certainly has a LONG way to go before it can sustain an increase in charging electric vehicles.

Difficult to know ? It may make them worth more as 'you can't get them any more' but that is only as long as the fuelling infrastructure is still around - petrol stations will soon disappear when demand drops as they run on very skinny margins so there will be huge consolidation. You may have to drive much further to refuel, by which time you will be running out of fuel again !

There will always be a market for classics but look what happened to leaded petrol, that largely vanished well before it was actually banned in 2000 in Europe.

Not as stupid as it may seem. They also have a lot of hyrdo-electric meaning they can provide the power for all of those electric vehicles cleanly and relatively cheaply, whilst selling oil to those lagging behind. Economically very astute in fact.

There are currently 33 million cars in the UK......they aren't going to disappear as soon as ICE cars are banned.

I didn't say they were, but the transition will be quicker than you might expect. It's a bit chicken and egg, nobody will build a new petrol station much after 2025 as there is no long term business model for it. Most of them are shops that sell fuel on the side anyway. As demand falls, fuel stations will close, which will make it more inconvenient so people will sell their old cars which will reduce demand and so on.

In addition there will be government subsidies / taxation in one form or another to push us towards electric. That was how unleaded fuel routed leaded fuel so quickly, leaded was taxed to the hilt so nobody bought it. The first unleaded only car was sold in 1997, within 10 years leaded fuel was pretty much unavailable.

When it is much cheaper to run an electric vehicle, that is what people will do, and transition very quickly. Don't expect much other than electric on the road by 2040, that is after all what the UK government is targeting.

Hopefully old classics will still be able to find some fuel in the future.

What Europe does with ICEs means very little for the future of the Mustang.

Stop fretting.

That says 2035 or 12 years, which is a far cry from 2025

Norway 2025 - UK 2032 /2035 if you read all of it

Norway has set a 2025 deadline for a ban on new petrol and diesel cars. Some Chinese cities are discussing a date around 2030.

Should be interesting to see what happens. If I lived there I would be scheming ways to get around this. Engine and drivetrain swaps into existing vehicles, for instance.

It's really too bad to see the growth of this kind of radicalism around the world. The new dark ages may be coming.
