      Why not? Car producers are begging for years for clear guidelines so they can develop solid plans instead of having to speculate how long they need to keep ICEs in parallel.

      It’s politicians bought by oil lobbyists (and a few bad apples in the industry refusing to acknowledge reality - often not even cas manufacturers themselves but people in their supply chain) that lie to us 24/7 allegedly protecting the very same producers.

        I don’t quite understand this. Nobody’s forcing manufacturers to keep producing ICE cars. They could just say ‘screw it’ and decide on their own to only build BEV.

          I suppose share holders and the market does. Because the ICE vehicles are still selling better then EVs and to make great EVs, there is a lot of expensive R&D, which why would they do, if share holders want to keep the money rather then spend it
