In 2022 the European Union, Canada, the U.K. and the U.S. state of California approved regulations banning the sale of new gasoline-powered cars and trucks by 2035. Plug-in hybrids, full electrics and hydrogen cell vehicles would all count toward the zero-emission targets, though auto makers will only be able to use plug-in hybrids to meet 20% of the overall requirement. The regulation will impact only new-vehicle sales and affects only manufacturers, not dealerships. Traditional internal-combustion vehicles will still be legal to own and drive after 2035, and new models can still be sold until 2035. Volkswagen and Toyota have said they aim to sell only zero-emission cars in Europe by that time.

Yes but only using renewable energy sources AND most importantly invest massively in public transport instead of cars
@9Q5NK57Conservative9mos9MO
No, we should be investing on Hydrogen refuelling stations, which will be the future of green transport.
@9PHDZHQ10mos10MO
Private companies should be forced to do it with no government help by saying that only electric cars will be made by 2030 in the uk
@9PBDHFT10mos10MO
Bio fuels are the answer. EVERY vehicle that has ever been made will run on them and they are carbon neutral.
@9P3W5L610mos10MO
No, and the government should invest in synthetic fuel production and offer incentives to companies using them, allowing them to use current in use equipment with the benefit of lower emissions.
@9N6DMT8 10mos10MO
Yes, as long as appropriately funded, built and maintained smart charging systems are used so as to minimise national grid impact - and renewable energy sources must be used
@9B8L87WWomen's Equality2yrs2Y
Yes but work towards making electric cars affordable in the first place
yes but only if the network remans under public ownership to recoup any outlay
No, they should invest in public infrastructure and create urban environments that promote travel without cars.
@98XBMJP2yrs2Y
No, Hydrogen station planning would be a much better use for the money
Yes but not yet. It is not a priority.
@98R5YS22yrs2Y
Yes, but also build significatly more green ways for creating energy before
