When I saw that, it made me think, why now? Is this the most pressing thing Bojo the clown needs to be concerned with? I do wonder if he’s taken a leaf out of Trump’s book on misdirection.
Either way, I cannot see these timescales being realistically achievable unless they really mean hybrid electric. However, like it or not, it is coming - wonder why China is so heavily invested in UK (and other countries’) power generation / distribution?
Hybrids are getting a 5 year extension. So no purely fossil fuelled cars from 2030 and no fossil/hybrids from 2035 apparently.
From what I understand, there simply isn’t enough lithium on the planet for us to all be driving electric, so there needs to be a leap in tech and huge investment in charging infrastructure.
