    That doesn’t sound fair to the people that just can’t afford a new car. The ban is about no new combustion cars getting into the market, not to say nobody can drive on from 2030 onwards.

      Yes you are right… maybe delay the whole ordeal by a decade or decade and a half. Then the electric second hand will be common.

        I don’t think a absolute ban is necessary, the phase out already started, most new car models are electric and most car companies for the mass market focus their future on electric. The ban as it currently is should do the job just fine. Most people will see the new electric cars as great, they save a lot of money and the tendency is towards even more.

        I think investing in public transport is the most important, especially in Germany…

          I’d love to see additional tax increases after a specific year. If you want to drive an Oldtimer or a gas powered supercar… it should be expensive to operate.

          But indeed only once full electrification has reached normal families.
