Brussels is pissing into the wind again, even if it dies in it.
Good – there is absolutely no reason to delay this.
Never ever. Until 2035 the EU will be solidly in far-right hands, which work closely with the gas and oil industry and Russia.
Ah yes, perfect, alienate people.
Most likely by 2035 EV will be cheaper to run than combustion engine cars? the market is moving that way anyway
Then they should vacate the seats for a parliament that will prolong it indefinitely *and* make the EV battle this fairly – no subsidy no nothing. Let the EV win it on equal footing not politically pushed.
RIP european automotive [*]
Electric cars are a mistake because they are still cars, we need better transportation systems to get rid of a maximum of those polluting space taking vehicules.
Wow, europe just likes to dig bigger and bigger hole for herself every day.
Please remember, folks, it is a ban on the sale of NEW combustion engine vehicles. And it’s 11 years in the future, and it might be the most important signal to our industries, that they absolutely must transition, even for their own sakes in order to not be disrupted into oblivion by Chinese EV companies. Such a ban solves the innovation dilemma in a nice and clean way, it is just the best way how politics can steer the development of nations.
Being honest…this ban is pointless.
EVs are just a better tech and will replace combustion engines naturally. If European manufacturers are too dumb to realize that…be it.
And discussing this pointless ban just gives few % to right winger’s in polls.
Great, looking forward to paying 200k€ for a vehicle .. ridiculous
#fuckpoorpeople
It would be great to have the industry for processing the rare compounds/minerals and the rest and not being almost completely dependent on china in processing these. Or at least find reliable partners with low cost inputs(germany wth?) that are not the biggest polluters if u want to save the world.
And then sell the idea to less educated citizens too pls:)
This is what Brussels is concerned about. Wake the hell up or there won’t be a European Union by 2035. War is coming and we’re messing around.
Then don’t penalize europeans with electric car tariffs. At least let them acces reasonably priced electric cars not god damned 30000 euros BEVs. I’m all for not destroying the planet but I am not a fan of car companies. Let the most cheap and efficient win. Don’t protect your car corporate euro buddies Brussels. Australia has no tariffs on Chinese BEVs and has the biggest grid.
LE: I also know its a delicate decision as China has been caught so many times using slave labour in their secretive penal colonies. Dictatorship and technology theft is their secret sauce. TBH all choices are shitty but one at least is better for Europe.
Idiots.
EU forces citizens to drive electric cars, Europeans are buying cheap Chinese Evs.
Eu: no, not like that!
It’s clear European car companies aren’t mass producing cheap EVs. By 2035 I doubt they will be either. This is an insane policy to bankrupt EU countries by selling themselves out to the Chinese. It’s madness!
Oh yes. Our beloved politicians who care so so much for the environment that they are taking 30 minutes flight just because it’s more convenient, driving fancy cars, owning multiple houses and flats and making tons of money. And that won’t change soon…
At the end of the day, we are the people who will suffer living from a paycheck to paycheck due to crazy expensive cars and electricity, housing shortage, and God knows what else…
I get it. We need to care for the environment, but maybe do it together, not only selected groups. How about that?
I can hear the song “China in your haaaands” and imagine myself in a BYD
Absolutely idiotic, neglecting the other more important contributors to climate change in favor of destroying your largest industry
I don’t want to lose the ability to drive fun petrol powered cars just because of stupid legislation. EVs make sense for 99% of uses, but outright banning all combustion engines is ridiculous
As a Belgian resident: Brussels can suck a cock.
90% of people in Brussels cannot afford an electric car, the infrastructure is not equipped for it. and if you know that it takes 3 years to simply open a street here and lay a cable, we will still happily drive around with combustion engines up to and including 2500.
The ban won’t happen because it’s unreasonable and unrealistic. Wanna take bets?
Can we ban Brussels from 2035? 😂🌝
EU: No more petrol cars after 2035, if you die, you die, its a sacrifice I’m willing to make
Voters vote for opposition parties
EU: You hateful nazi scum, just be quiet and die
Would it not be better to focus on the fuel? If someone invents a perfectly environmentally friendly fuel that works in existing cars, why ban a whole technology?
