And we're only slightly ahead of EU as a whole (2035), but several other EU countries are going with 2030 and some (eg Austria) are earlier (in 2027)

Not just Europe either

So if you don't want to be caught out at 11th hour, remember now that this is coming!

I would love to have an electric car but live in a terrace house with one street, unallocated parking. I sometimes have to park half way down the street. We have no garage and no ability to drop the kerb. So how on earth would I charge a car?

We have two petrol cars and change them every 3 years. Unless the infrastructure is vastly improved we'll buy a new car each in 2029 and keep it for longer than we would normally.

There's just been a piece on the BBC evening news about this, and the possibility that making an extension to the 2030 date will be an election issue

@VikingVolva

thats a 'no shit Sherlock' BBC headline.

Do you work for Volvo?

i need to buy a car, I won't be buying electric.
