A ban on selling new petrol, diesel or hybrid cars in the UK will be
brought forward from 2040 to 2035 at the latest, under government plans.

The change comes after experts said 2040 would be too late if the UK
wants to achieve its target of emitting virtually zero carbon by 2050.

Boris Johnson unveiled the policy as part of a launch event for a United
Nations climate summit in November.

He said 2020 would be a "defining year of climate action" for the
planet.

Probably works in a place the size of Michigan with the population
density of Maryland. I would only worry about your grid. You folks
seem to have pretty modest services to your homes. A car charger might
double it. 200 amp panels are popular here and most people need to
bump that up if they want a car charger (~50a or so extra)

I grew up in Philadelphia.Â* In some sections it is no big deal to add a
charger. Single home decent lot size.Â*Â* In many older neighborhoods 100
years old, it is impossible.Â* Houses are 14 feet wide and run the entire
block on a narrow street with parking on one side.Â* You are lucky to be
able to park on your own block let alone in front of your own house.
About 25 to 28 houses on each side. solid line of cars parked there.
Easily 20 to 25 cars parked.Â* How do you charge them all?

Yes, logistics and infrastructure would pose a problem, but they
originally said that putting a man on the moon was impossible at one
time. Underground chargers that transfer electricity wirelessly for
instance? You park up and they can charge overnight.
