Even if bans like this pass it will take several decades after those bans for ICE vehicles to actually disappear. The vast majority of cars sold here are used and buying one that’s 2 decades old is not uncommon. Until battery replacements become affordable the people who are buying used aren’t going to use EVs because those replacements cost more than a used ICE car.
Did anyone seriously thought carbon credits helped poor nations? The only purpose of those is for companies to avoid regulations and stick a carbon neutral sticker on themselves while fucking up the planet.
