Many governments are moving to push hard to reduce sales of diesel and petrol cars, the European Parliament has officially approved a law banning the sale of new petrol and diesel cars in the EU from 2035
The landmark law will require carmakers to cut down CO2 emissions by 100 percent.
The 100 percent cut in CO2 emissions from new cars sold would make it impossible to sell petrol or diesel-powered cars in the 27-country bloc. The law that comes into effect in phases that will require a 55 percent cut in CO2 emissions for new cars starting 2030, which is a much higher target in comparison to the current 37.5 percent.

So, will this goal be achieved by the year 2035? Will the cars be more efficient and at a good price compared to current prices, or is it a policy that may take decades?
Going by the take of people using the internal combustion engine cars, I think most people that are not open to new technology and innovation will want to stick to what they have known all their lives and not change course.
The reason is because, they don't want to learn new 'tricks at old age'. However, there exists a set of people who are crazy about technology and wants to try out the new technology. There will be a challenge in trying to entirely change the system to Electrically driven cars until/except the government steps in with sanctions, which is what the Europian Parliament has done. However, I do not see the posibility of it being global until certain infrastructural challenges are addressed, especially in places where power generation isn't sufficiently produced.
