Firstly, be it reality or dream, for me I will miss these cars. I like shifting gears which are already missing in many Petrol cars and this is not only me but found out that there are many people with same thought.

Now, I belive EVs will help reducing environmental pollution and all but I also read a debate that to manufacture the batteries the environment is getting affected very badly. A huge amount of CO2 is being released. So, if this is the case I doubt if this is even helping apart from car running cost saving.

For me when I read about Ethanol cars, I liked this technology as already e20 fuel is being distributed in India and it does releases less polluted fumes. They also do have a con related to farming where fertilizers used are synthetic and causing harm to the soil and ground water.

In conclusion, stopping the sale of petrol/disel cars used as a personal vehicle or a cab might be possible with any of these alternatives and be it any they will impact the nature in some way. As of now, I think everybody in this World is just trying to innovate a way where less carbon is ommitted from the cars, so there is a chance that this might get extended. And stopping the sale of every vehicles including commercial trucks is only possible with great innnovation which will take some time. Bus are still fine, they are running but not every vehicle.
