After a 15-month debate that included a lot of negotiation with legacy German, French, or Italian automakers, legislation proposal for a ban on the sales of vehicles with internal combustion engine has been agreed on by European lawmakers.
The new European mandate sounds the death knell of the internal combustion engine that has powered vehicles for almost 150 years there, and "sends a strong signal to industry and consumers: Europe is embracing the shift to zero-emission mobility," said the Green Deal initiative head Timmermans.
10 years ago if you had told me that it was within the realm of possibility that in a decade we would begin dreaming the end of the internal combustion engine I would have thought you were utterly mad (crazy.) and delusional.
...Today we've begun dreaming. The markets might just send the Internal combustion engine into the Dustbin of History.
It should be stated for the laymen too car companies don't operate on a short term basis, they plan a long time into the future, and no longer do Car manufactuers want to manufacture for one country alone, there's too much potential in emerging markets.
So their response will likely Slowly phase out production even for the united states.
The USA has been too reluctant to adopt new technology and EVS have been expensive, but the cost will come down over time.
The truth is if you want my prediction for how this is going to go down the Car manufacturers will stop making ICE cars, people will try to cling by buying used, etc, but slowly but certainly even the parts required to repair an ICE car will start to disapppear and then Final removal of ICE cars from the united states will simply be that they break down and are unable to be repaired because there are no parts left to fix them.
