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?
Eventually we will hit a day when oil starts to run out or becomes prohibitively expensive to use for fuel in cars. We have been using it for a long time now and will probably continue to use it for many more decades, however there will also be a peak for demand affected by many factors. It will actually be a good thing, because certain countries get to abuse their access to oil and keep some very nasty people in power. What the EU is trying to do is admirable, but I expect it to get pushed back. Ultimately, if we can clean up the process for creating renewable fuels and the battery technology so it's less harmful than fossil fuels, then people in cities and towns could start to breath much cleaner air which is better for us all.
