We left the EU not Europe !

There are plenty of brilliant EV sports car - current and coming soon.

I don't think anybody likes being told what to do but sometimes you have to accept what a majority want.

I very much doubt it. I may be wrong but an awful lot of people in the US think that Europe is one place split up into states like the US. It couldn't be more different !

A lot of people can only afford, or are so uninterested in cars that a 1.0 shopping box is all they want / need. Most people drive very dull cars and a dull ICE and dull EV are much of a muchness - no convincing needed because they really don't care. In fact, on balance, (although I would also...

EV + PHEV was 67% in December 2020 and 80% in January 2021. 100% will never happen as there will always be classic cars around and old cars for years to come but that will only be a small percentage by 2035 - by which time the 'youngest' ICE car will be 10 years old.

Europe is working on all of those sectors, not just private cars. Even steel production alternatives to coke by using hydrogen are being developed - one of the most difficult areas of fossil fuel use to replace. Musk is supplying a product to demand, if people didn't want EV's or they didn't...

The clarity loss is yours. You can't even get the figures right - over 17% of all cars on the road in Norway are now EV or PHEV with 54% of new cars EV, so increasing fast. Pretty close to the 20% you say is impossible. I completely understand if you don't like EV's but don't make stuff up to...

Hydrogen powered busses and trains are starting to come into action over here as are electric trams on a wider scale. Electrically powered trains obviously around for a long time. Electric vans becoming more common in cities. Ford do an electric Transit over here. HGV's probably going along the...

I don't see the logic in your comments. If the Norwegians were talking about it then fair enough, but they are not talking about it , they are doing it. You are the one saying they can't - somewhat at odds with reality. Other parts of your post just demonstrate that it doesn't matter what...

Have you heard of the saying 'fight fire with fire' I reply in a style mirroring the original post. Treat me nice and I'll treat you the same !

I'm not going to go down the wormhole that a 'discussion' on such a subject would end up. You are I'm sure well aware of why EV's are being introduced. Whether you agree with that or not is your personal opinion, nothing more nothing less.

I chose a PHEV. Nobody forced me to.

Eh? When somebody states that something that is happening isn't it is not a personal attack, just factually incorrect.

So funny. You know better ! You don't need to explain it to me, but you better give Norway a ring ASAP as clearly they don't know what they are doing ! Do you really think they are THAT stupid that you, NoVaGT from NV know more about what is happening in Norway than the Norwegians. To say it...

Didn't say it was - but at the same time nobody can deny it is happening there.

You can live in denial of reality, but it IS HAPPENING. Norway bans new cars with ICE engines in 2025. Which bit of 54% new sales being EV is not happening in Norway ??

To a point. When the change is mandated for reasons that benefit the rest of the population then that will force the issue. For example the banning on domestic use of coal in the UK, because there are alternatives that don't cause such unnecessary pollution. Banning of chemicals such as DDT...

You can say what you like, but legally no ICE cars after 2030 in Europe and sooner in some countries. 100% of sales post 2030 will be EV or PHEV (PHEV gone by 2035) Ford committed to 100% EV in Europe by 2030. Norway already over 50% new car sales are EV. I suspect Ford have a better about what...

That requires a PCT not a DCT (Psychic) !
