The drive towards greener transport is gaining momentum in the European Union and the United Kingdom.
They want to be net-zero emissions economies by 2050.
Carmakers are now putting more money into new technology, so they do not fall behind.

Hmph
ford? cant remember when i saw a ford car in germany last time
UK is in Europe the title makes it sound like its not part of it.
O fato da Ford ter saído do Brasil só demonstra o quão longe estamos das novas demandas tecnológicas, ambientais, comerciais, muitos etc.
Go faster? lol good luck.
Listen, in France the yellow jackets protested and rioted in the street for 18 months, including 1 bombing, over a 1% increase in petrol levy. In real world terms, thats €0.06 per litre.
And these people want governments to "go faster" in making cars EV? roflmao.
It takes on average 25 years for a new technology or safety feature in vehicles to reach 80% of vehicles on the road. That's a hard number. Let's say manufacturers met their self imposed target of all new cars being EV by 2030. That would mean you wouldn't get to 80% of vehicles on the road being EV until 2055. And that's with strict regulation and subsidy. In reality we're looking more like 80% of cars on the road being EV (or hydrogen) by 2060-2065.
If they wanted it by now, this move needed to start in the 90s.
What this report also doesn't cover is that the lithium in Li-Ion batteries is a highly toxic rare earth metal that utterly destroys ecosystems where it is mined and contaminates drinking water.
All of climate change is the result of the industrial revolution. Even just being online, watching this video, reading this comment, it's creating massive amounts of cO2 emissions for the servers that run the infrastructure globally.
Actually solving climate change means a loss in quality of life for most people. That's the reality. It means a greater division between income inequality. That's why we won't actually fix it.
The best course is to put our efforts in adapting to the changed climate.
Why not use hydrogen fuel cell cars? It seems that the battery problem with electric cars is insurmountable at the present time. And a lot of progress has been made with hydrogen fuel cells.
These electric cars should be given free because we already bought cars and we understand the emission problem in exchange
I've heard this same story since the 90s
These people are crazy. They're consumers are going pay for their stupidity through expensive and impratical energy.
What will happen to xom and cvx? This is a zio plot. Watch the video on my playlist for proof.
