So, it sounds like some people are foolish enough to think that if europeans do something stupid, the rest of the world will run off the same cliff. I disagree. Besides, in the USofA, just because you have an ICE powered car doesn't mean you'll have to give it up just because new ones have more incentives to be electric. (Of course, this may not be true in Kalifornia, but that state is a special case of nut-jobs anyway.)
In addition, if europeans quit drinking diesel, there would be more for the rest of us, so diesel prices might start to come back down to where it ought to be in relation to gasoline.
But in the end, I don't think the power density problem in batteries will be solved anytime soon. Without that, EV cars & trucks will continue to be a short commute appliance since the range will be too limited to be useful to many people.
But, meh - my driving life probably wouldn't see the end of ICE powered vehicles since I won't live another 100 years. And I think it will take nearly that long for this pipe dream to happen. Wishing won't make it so: you can't politicize and fake out the physics.
Cheers,
