In 2022 the European Union, Canada, the U.K. and the U.S. state of California approved regulations banning the sale of new gasoline-powered cars and trucks by 2035. Plug-in hybrids, full electrics and hydrogen cell vehicles would all count toward the zero-emission targets, though auto makers will only be able to use plug-in hybrids to meet 20% of the overall requirement. The regulation will impact only new-vehicle sales and affects only manufacturers, not dealerships. Traditional internal-combustion vehicles will still be legal to own and drive after 2035, and new models can still be sold until 2035. Volkswagen and Toyota have said they aim to sell only zero-emission cars in Europe by that time.

No, the general public should not have to pay tax money to cover another individual's choice. It should be the responsibility of those who purchase electric vehicles to pay for the charging of their cars in their own homes, or for private businesses to invest in it instead.
@B4FPNCH3wks3W
I think we have enough charging stations. We only need more if there's a huge increase in buying electric vehicles.
@B4BTX2Z3wks3W
Yes, but rolled out conservatively/slowly over the next decade, so we don't bet too aggressively on electric cars incase other green options more viable (Hydrogen, etc)
@B3TQYVH1mo1MO
Yes! Prioritise renewable energy sources, and charging fees should be reduced for charging from renewables.
@9ZR2LN55mos5MO
Electric vehicles should be illegal until nuclear cars are viable
@9WG6FRHSocialist Alliance6mos6MO
Yes, but only if they use renewable energy sources. Also, improve public transport and make it free.
@9Q529Z210mos10MO
Yes but first prioritise better public transport networks, then ensure these can be sustained by renewable energy sources.
Yes, but only to kick-start the adoption of EVs. It shouldn’t be a long-term arranagemnt.
@9J54WTY1yr1Y
No, we should be focusing on improving cycling infrastructure and public transport.
The government should work with private industry to develop efficient high-speed net zero transportation
@9HD5XD81yr1Y
Car manufacturers should have to provide the charstations
@9HCXTZW1yr1Y
Yes, but only if they use renewable energy sources, and focus more on improving public transportation.
@9H4V2PJ1yr1Y
Yes, and we should focusing more on improving public transportation.
@9DWYYQS2yrs2Y
Yes if they don't use lithium batteries
@9MKDJ6V11mos11MO
No, fund cycling infrastructure and public transport instead.
Ridiculous! Come live in rural Australia.
@StainingOne Nation2yrs2Y
No petrol is the way to go
@99L8BJS2yrs2Y
Yes and they should make electric vehicles more affordable
@99BBZHJ2yrs2Y
Yes, but only if the power source is renewable
@998CJHD2yrs2Y
No electric vehicles are a waste of time
if they build chargers they should also incentivize purchase of electric cars aswell
@992W6NB2yrs2Y
No, create the economic conditions so private enterprise does
Yes, in theory,, but only if there is no environmental damage.
@98YKDCP2yrs2Y
No this is a folly to replace normal cars etc
No, however they need to put in place safety regulations and requirements for all new or rebfurbished service stations, government and community precincts and big businesses to include it, so that a network is built naturally where and when it is needed
@98PXTRP2yrs2Y
People can’t afford electric vehicles to start with, so it would be pointless
