Default Re: The 'Automotive Environmental' Thread - Electric Cars/Fuel Quality/Alternative Fuel

Franco, Hybrid vehicles are exempt for the proposed 2030 ban, the people pushing
that agenda are not qualifying the ban on pure ICE vehicles because they want the
sensational headline of change.

In reality, I bet that tech in 11 years time is such that hybrids will be an integral part
of most vehicles in Europe and by extension, most of the vehicles on sale in Australia.

Ford s already doing some interesting work with the Transit "electric vehicle" with the
1.0 EB Range extender ICE - I bet that is the next step along for PHEV and the last step
before dedicated BEVs. Those living around the edge of Australia will probably have no
choice but to electrify while people in the bush will just continue with ICEs.
