The 100 percent cut in CO2 emissions from new cars sold would make it impossible to sell petrol or diesel-powered cars in the 27-country bloc. The law that comes into effect in phases that will require a 55 percent cut in CO2 emissions for new cars starting 2030, which is a much higher target in comparison to the current 37.5 percent.

Some reports indicate that the costs of running an electric car are actually lower than the costs of running a car with an internal combustion engine.
So, will this goal be achieved by the year 2035? Will the cars be more efficient and at a good price compared to current prices, or is it a policy that may take decades?
I think that this plan was drawn up for a different reason than to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere. Rather, because these countries need to reduce gasoline consumption. In any case, this is an excellent initiative, and it is worth all the difficulties that will have to be overcome to its full implementation. I think by 2037 there won't be a single gasoline-fueled car left. I think the industrial sector of these 27 countries needs to think about how to convert cars with gasoline engines into electric traction. Then they won't have to throw them all in the landfill.
Or it could just be a plan. The other countries are looking at it differently because no petrol/diesel with ruin the industrialization of the countries that produce products. Without it, it will destroy their economy.
You know, they also want to improve the lives of thier people. Without petrol/diesel, the economy of India or China will also be ruined and they are the rising power in the east. Are they not going to protect thier interest?
The rest of the world back in thier time have been using Petrol and diesel to manufacture products and making their country rich, should India and China deprive thier country to become superpower as well?
Dude China and India have gambled that banging out kids is the way to go.
Those 2 countries have close to 3 billion of the 8 billion people in the world. Yet only have 2.5% of the land mass.
so 37% of the people and 2.5% of the land .
I left out antarctica .
so basically those numbers mean they should lower their population to land ratio.
and oil gas or coal vs wind solar or hydrogen won't help much.
I guess if they invent a cold fusion reactor they could catch up a bit.
But the people to land number is a big concern.
BTW people to land mass works out really well for Russia. I would suspect that Russia would continue to use oil and coal and nat gas for the next 100 years as global warming favors them bigly
