According to a huge plan published by the European Commission to combat climate change, new petrol and diesel cars would be phased out by 2035.
According to one of a dozen proposed legislation unveiled in Brussels, car emissions must drop by 55 percent by 2030 and be zero by 2035.
“As a result, all new cars registered after 2035 will be zero emission,” according to the plan’s announcement.
In fact, this means that starting on that date, all automobiles and light vans sold in the EU will be battery-powered electric cars, which currently account for fewer than a tenth of new registrations.
